Professional career

[edit]

In 2013, Giedraitis was named Finals MVP of the NKL after scoring 26 points and leading his team to title.[3] He then signed with BC Šiauliai club in which his father played his whole career.[4] After continuing his solid playing, Giedraitis was later signed by the Lithuanian powerhouse Lietuvos rytas Vilnius and joined it in 2015.[5][6] On July 5, 2018, Giedraitis terminated his contract with the team.[7]

On July 6, 2018, he signed a three-year contract with Alba Berlin of the Basketball Bundesliga.[8]

On July 4, 2020, Giedraitis signed a three-year deal with the Spanish Liga ACB champions Saski Baskonia.[9] On 9 October 2020, Giedraitis scored 26 points in the EuroLeague and this way achieved his new career-high in the league.[10] On July 14, 2023, Giedratis parted ways with Baskonia after three seasons together.

On the same day he signed a one-year contract with Crvena zvezda of the Serbian KLS, Adriatic league and the EuroLeague.

National team career

He won two gold medals with Lithuania national teams: FIBA World U-19 in 2011 and Europe U-20 in 2012. In 2015 Giedraitis was included into the Lithuania men's national basketball team head coach Jonas Kazlauskas extended candidates list.[11] He also participated in the national team training camp, but was released on August 16.[12] He returned to the national team in 2016, but yet again was quickly released on July 5.[13] In 2017, Giedraitis was invited to team's training camp in preparation for the EuroBasket 2017 championship, only to be released on August 11.[14]

In 2019, at the age of 27, Giedraitis made his national team debut, after being selected to the final 12-man roster for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup by the head coach Dainius Adomaitis.[15]
