Zalgiris Kaunas has confirmed that star guard Sylvain Francisco has penned a new contract at the club until the end of the 2026-27 season.
The deal includes an option for the Frenchman to leave in the summer of 2026 should a buyout be paid.
Francisco, in his second season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, is in the midst of an excellent first campaign with Zalgiris, having averaged 14.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steal per game across 28 appearances.
The 27-year-old has had his five best scoring games in the EuroLeague while wearing Zalgiris's jersey, beating the previous best mark of 21 points he twice reached during his rookie campaign with FC Bayern Munich.
In the last five rounds alone, Francisco has achieved his three highest-scoring performances after posting a career-best 33 points against Bayern in Round 24, 29 points against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Round 26, and 25 points at Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in Round 27.
Zalgiris fans can now look forward to seeing Francisco on the Zalgirio Arena floor for potentially another two seasons.
