Guard/forward Deividas Sirvydis, a former second-round pick (No. 37 overall in 2019) who played 22 games with the Pistons from 2020-22, is nearing a contract extension with EuroLeague club Zalgris Kaunas, sources tell Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews.
Zalgris is based in Lithuania, where Sirvydis is from.
According to Urbonas, the 24-year-old wing received “significant interest” on the market this spring after a solid season in which he averaged 8.4 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 38.8% from long distance in 34 EuroLeague appearances (16.5 minutes per game). Although his current contract runs through 2027, it features an opt-out clause, giving him an opportunity to negotiate with other teams.
Urbonas hears that Sirvydis’ new deal with Zalgris will cover at least one more season and could extend beyond the original contract’s expiration date.
