This physical distress stemmed from both the effort he had exerted during the game and the viral illness he had been battling in the preceding days.

Despite not being fully prepared due to the lingering effects of the virus, the Lithuanian big man valiantly took to the court on Sunday night, although he had withheld from participating in training sessions in recent days.

Gudaitis played for 20 minutes and 8 seconds in a game, which ended up in a 70-73 defeat on the road, scoring 7 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.

Looking ahead, the best-of-five series will now shift to the OAKA Arena, where PAO will have a chance to turn the tide. Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday at 20:15 CEST.
