Zalgiris re-sign Mantas Rubstavicius and loan him to Tofas

Zalgiris Kaunas announced on Monday, November 9, that guard Mantas Rubstavicius has signed a new 2+1 contract with the club. However, the 24-year-old will spend the first season of the deal on loan with Turkish side Tofas Bursa, competing in the Turkish Basketball Super League and the EuroCup.

Rubstavicius previously agreed to join NCAA program Auburn over the summer, but the move did not materialize due to unforeseen circumstances. The Lithuanian guard helped Zalgiris win the domestic league title in 2025-26, averaging 8.0 points across 28 league appearances.
