Speaking to Mozzart Sport, the Lithuanian had positive things to say on the occasion of the upcoming Round 23 game against ALBA Berlin.

"I spent two great years there," he said, talking about two seasons he spent with ALBA between 2018 and 2020. "We won the league, the cup, reached the final of the EuroCup..."

"I have good memories, especially of coach Aito [Garcia Renesses], who is no longer there. Berlin is a nice city; it reminds me of Belgrade, and it's nice to be back there," Giedraitis stated.

The small forward also talked about his teammate, Brazilian guard Yago dos Santos.

"He uses the opportunity well. Someone had to take responsibility; he did it, and it was good for the team," Giedraitis noted in reference to Yago's 26 points and 5 assists in the 90-91 loss against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. "We hope that he will continue with such games when everyone returns," the player concluded, reflecting on the team's injuries.
