The famous Lithuanian basketball player Arvydas Sabonis unexpectedly announced his intentions to play for his native Zalgiris in Kaunas. He's going to wear jersey number eleven.

“I will play in Zalgiris. Tired of wiping the bench. While my legs are wearing, I want to be useful to my team once again,” Sabonis said.

Traditionally, basketball players have been slow to talk about the future while their agents are looking for clubs and negotiating terms. Sabonis, having announced his plans in advance, unexpectedly broke this tradition.

As you know, the current choice of Sabonis is far from accidental - the legendary basketball player is not only an honorary citizen of Kaunas, but also a co-owner of the Zalgiris basketball center.

Until recently, the legendary Lithuanian basketball player represented the Trail Blazers in the NBA. According to the basketball player, next year it is planned to create an almost new team in the Portland club. “At home I belong and I don’t take someone else’s place,” the 38-year-old Lithuanian basketball star does not hide.
