Lietkabelis completes roster with Lazar Mutic

Lietkabelis Panevezys announced it found the final piece of its roster puzzle for the upcoming season, signing big forward Lazar Mutic to a one-year deal. Mutic (2.04 meters, 26 years old) spent the last two years with Okapi Aalst in Belgium, and last season averaged 10.6 points, 6.8 rebounds.

A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mutic spent time in Real Madrid youth categories before joining UCAM Murcia where he mostly played for its second team for two seasons. Between 2019 and 2023, Mutic spent playing in Spanish lower division with five different clubs - Gipuzkoa San Sebastian, TAU Castello, Artes, Marbella and Almansa - before moving to Belgium.

“This is a basketball player who is much more focused on team play than on individual performances", says Lietkabelis sports director Lukas Grabauskas. "We hope that the adaptation will go smoothly and Lazar will be able to reveal his potential. This is the last signing of players this summer and we can announce that the lineup for the upcoming season is complete."
