He's back. The Lithuanian shooter is back. 9 months after the injury and operation on an Achilles tendon, winger Eimantas Bendzius played his first match, the official friendly against Lebanon.
Lithuania won 100-71 and Bendzius played 15 minutes scoring 7 points thanks to 2/5 from three and 1/2 from free throws. He also gave 3 assists.
Really promising signs for the player that Dinamo appointed captain after Gentile's departure for Trapani. Last season, Bendzius' absence weighed on the failure to reach the Final 8 of the Italian Cup and the Scudetto playoffs. We are talking about one of the best shooters in the Italian Serie A, as demonstrated by his 44% in triples, which is the average of the three championships played in Sassari.
For Bendzius, next season will be the fifth in blue and white, but the fourth effective one, given that he never set foot on the pitch in the 2023/24 sporting year.
