The club announced that Lukas Lekavicius will be sidelined for approximately a month following surgery.

The guard felt pain in his stomach during the EuroLeague game against ALBA Berlin on Tuesday. It was later determined that he needed an appendicitis operation, the club writes.

The Lithuanian team has already lost Brady Manek and Arnas Butkevicius to long-term injuries. Tomas Dimsa, meanwhile, is playing through a shoulder injury. The team has shipped Ignas Brazdeikis and Naz Mitrou-Long to Olympiacos Piraeus this season and only signed Edmond Sumner in return.

With a glaring weakness in rotation, Zalgiris will square off against AS Monaco in the EuroLeague on Friday.
