Jokubaitis signed a deal with the Catalan organization back in 2021. The 22-year-old told Jonas Leksas from BasketNews that the option in the contract has been activated.

"Everything's agreed upon," Jokubaitis said during the first day of the Lithuanian national team's training camp. "I signed a 1+1+1+1 deal with Barca, the plus in the contract has been activated in July again, I still have a contract with them."

"I'll still need to talk to my agent, maybe he's heard something while was in the US. The Barca management has already contacted me, everything's in order, there's nothing to be worried about," the guard said.

Jokubaitis won the Spanish Liga Endesa for the first time in his tenure with Barca last year. He played all 39 games in the EuroLeague during the 2022-23 season and averaged 5.3 points, 2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for 6.6 PIR.

The Lithuanian guard captured the EuroLeague Rising Star award in 2022.
