Zalgiris Kaunas and Reggio Emilia contending for Darjus Lavrinovic

Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia and Zalgiris Kaunas are contending for Darjus Lavrinovic. The LIthuanian big man ended the season in Italy and his contract is expired. Reggio Emilia offered him a low contract because of many injuries he had last season, but yesterday Zalgiris Kaunas entered into negotiations and is trying to attract Lavrinovic with a better contract.

According to BasketNews.lt, Žalgiris is trying to bring back Darjuš Lavrinovič. Reggio Emilia want to keep the 35-year-old veteran, as well.

Zalgiris can offer him another year in Euroleague and the possibility to play at home. Last season he averaged 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in Italy.
