Rokas Jokubaitis He still has one year left on his contract Barça but it is not clear that he will follow. The arrival of Ricky Rubio He has reduced his limited role a bit and the point guard may find a new destination in search of a more important role.
One option is to jump in NBAwhere the New York Knicks He has a right. But its continuation in Europe seems more likely, where in recent days the interest of a couple of Euroleague teams has appeared. According to Sportando, Jokubaitis intends to play in the NBA summer league to see if the Knicks decide to include him now, although if not he has alternatives. There is strong interest from Zalgiris to bring him back.
From Lithuania, they confirmed this interest in the Barça point guard, although the 15min website indicates that there is a strong competitor from the Kaunas club, none other than Fenerbahçewhere Sarunas Jasikevicius He wants to meet his countryman again. The idea is that he takes the place of the Israeli Yam Madarwhich Saras could hardly count on.
Jokubaitis signed a four-season contract with Barça in 2021, although it can be cut at the end of each of them (1+1+1+1). Barça holds the key to its future, although what seems clear is that if Ricky Rubio continues beyond this campaign there will be very little room for the Lithuanian due to the overload of players in one and two positions (Rubio, Satoransky, Jokubaitis, Brizuela , Laprovittola and the young Jakucionis).
