A report on Eurobasket.com indicated that recent player signings by the Lithuanian professional league team Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius, where 2001 Spurs second-round draft pick Robertas Javtokas has played for the past five seasons, has signed a player to replace Javtokas, believing the 6-foot-11 center will be in the Spurs training camp this summer.

The report cited Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius general manager J. Vainauskas saying his club “doesn’t have much hope on keeping R. Javtokas . . .“

According to the San Antonio Express-News, because Javtokas’ contract with his Lithuanian team has expired, the Spurs would not have to pay a buy-out fee to Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius before signing him.
