In a club announcement, team president Paulius Jankunas said that Rivers's addition will help the team achieve a better outcome in the final part of the season as the team is facing injury woes.

Rivers began the season with Givova Scafati Basket. In the Italian League (LBA), Rivers averaged 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game in 27 appearances.

Last season, the 2.03-meter tall forward played for Onvo Buyukcekmece Basketball in the Turkish League (BSL), averaging 11.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

Zalgiris' roster was recently trimmed down by Tomas Dimsa and Arnas Butkevicius' injuries.

The Lithuanian team suffered its first defeat under head coach Andrea Trinchieri in the Lithuanian League (LKL) on Wednesday, losing to Neptunas Klaipeda, coached by former Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens head coach Georgios Vovoras.
