Overview

  • Bayern Munich said Jokubaitis will undergo knee surgery and be sidelined for at least six months, ruling him out of EuroBasket and a significant portion of the 2025–26 season.
  • Independent reporting from BasketNews indicated ACL and meniscus involvement, details not specified in the club’s release.
  • The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of Lithuania’s win over Finland when his left leg buckled on a drive to the basket.
  • The Lithuanian Basketball Federation said tests in Tampere confirmed a left‑knee ligament injury and that he will be evaluated and treated in Munich.
  • The setback interrupts a breakout run for Lithuania (17.3 points and 8.5 assists through four games), complicates Bayern’s plans after his recent three‑year signing, and is expected to delay any near‑term NBA arrival with the Knicks retaining his rights.
