He later spent time with Parma Perm in Russia, VEF Riga in Latvia, and Derthona Basket Tortona and Trieste in Italy before joining Trento in 2022. He helped VEF win the Latvian League in 2019, and also lifted the Baltic League trophy with Ventspils in 2013. Grazulis has also been a member of the Latvian national team.
