According to an announcement by Zalgiris, Giedraitis has a torn thigh muscle and will not be able to play on the courts for an undefined amount of time.

This means that Giedraitis will not be able to represent the Lithuanian national team in the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers either.

The club also announced that Laurynas Birutis, who was named MVP of the King Mindaugas Cup final four, will miss national team duty because of "minor health problems."

The Lithuanian Basketball Federation (LKF) already announced that Marek Blazevic will replace Birutis.

Giedraitis has unfortunately been having a season of injuries. Previously, he had an ankle injury that he was able to walk off rather quickly.

This season, the young defensive specialist is averaging 4.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1 assist per game in the EuroLeague.
