One of the most surprising news is that Linas Kleiza and Robertas Javtokas will not play in the World Cup. They mentioned their health problems as the reason to resign from the game and wanted to have some time to take care of their health.

The team will leave to Palanga for training. They will also play 14 friendly matches in July and August and afterwards the big game will follow.

The 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup will take place on 30 August – 14 September in Spain.
