EuroLeague: Zalgiris Pursues Contract Extension with Maodo Lo

Zalgiris Kaunas continues to shape its roster for the upcoming season, with one of the most advanced moves involving the continuity of Maodo Lo. The Lithuanian club is negotiating final details to extend the contract of the German shooting guard, a player who has gained prominence in the rotation during the season.

At 33 years old, Lo has delivered important performances at key moments of the European season. The guard signed his best offensive night against Paris Basketball with 21 points, but was also decisive in prestigious victories against FC Barcelona, Olympiacos, and Olimpia Milano, games in which he scored 20, 17, and 15 points respectively.

Zalgiris' sports management is also working to strengthen perimeter play with new high-level signings, while keeping conversations open to try to retain Sylvain Francisco. The situation appears different for Moses Wright, whose future seems to point away from Kaunas with FC Barcelona closely monitoring his potential acquisition.

Lo's continuity would follow the line recently set by the Lithuanian club, which already secured Dustin Sleva's stay through 2028. In the last EuroLeague season, the German international averaged 7.5 points and 2.6 assists per game, providing experience, offensive rhythm, and reliability in high-pressure games.
