Polonara joined Zalgiris in January on a deal until the end of the 2022-23 season, and the cooperation was not extended.

Polonara didn't finish the season due to a torn thigh muscle.

In the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, Polonara averaged 4.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 8.3 PIR in 20 appearances for Zalgiris.

In LKL, the 31-year-old Italian averaged 6.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 12.5 EFF over 21 appearances.
