Sirvydis had generated significant interest on the market this offseason due to an exit clause in his previous deal, which ran through 2027.
However, the new agreement will keep him in Kaunas for at least one more season — and potentially beyond the original end date of the previous contract.
In EuroLeague play, Sirvydis averaged 8.4 points per game while shooting 51.5% from 2-point range and 38.8% from beyond the arc.
He also added 2.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 0.5 steals in 16 minutes per game.
He scored at least 14 points in 8 of his 34 appearances, including a career-high 19-point outing against the former EuroLeague champions Panathinaikos Athens.
Among players under the age of 25, Sirvydis ranked as one of the top scorers in the competition and had the third-best three-point shooting percentage within that group of 13 highest-scoring players.
According to BBallytics, Sirvydis also posted the third-best net rating on the Zalgiris roster. With him on the court, the team’s offensive efficiency improved by 6.4 points per 100 possessions.
