The Toronto Raptors forward Linas Kleiza was sidelined for the second part of last season and will also have to miss the EuroBasket 2011 in Lithuania. The 26-year-old player is already thinking about the future, but makes it clear that making a full recovery is on top of his priority list.

“Right now the most important thing for me is to get my leg in order. If the lockout lasts out for a while, it would be great to come back to Lithuania and play a part of the season here,” Linas Kleiza said in an online conference at Delfi.lt.

The statement sparked talks about which team the Lithuanian superstar would choose – Zalgiris or Lietuvos Rytas. Kleiza was open about his views on the topic.

“When both teams play in Euroleague, I equally support them both. However, I was born and grew up in Kaunas and Zalgiris has always been my favorite team,” said Kleiza admitted.
