Not only did Travis Watson, who has been injured for quite a while now, stay in Kaunas, but Tadas Klimavicius didn't join the team on its flight to the city on the Polish coast, as the player had a purulent surgically removed.
Already in a team practice on Tuesday, Zalgiris coach Ramunas Butautas expressed a concern about the possibly of another two players being sidelined. "It's hard to express it percentage, but there's a chance that Klimavicius and Butkevicius will be able to play, however, the prognosis from the medics isn't very assuring," Butautas said on Tuesday. It's still unclear whether Povilas Butkevicius will be available for selection. The big man has back aches after a small injury in a Lithuanian League (LKL) game against Sakalai at the weekend.
