Tadas Sedekerskis pens a five-year extension at Baskonia

His previous deal was set to expire this summer

Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz has confirmed that team captain Tadas Sedekerskis has signed a new five-year contract extension at the club, which will keep him at Buesa Arena until the end of the 2028-29 season.

Sedekerskis joined Baskonia as a 15-year-old in 2013 and, should he remain in Vitoria until the end of his contract, he will have spent 16 years at Buesa Arena. Now 26 years of age, Sedekerskis went on a number of loans before establishing himself as a full-time member of Baskonia’s first-team squad. He did, however, make 13 appearances – all off the bench – in the 2016-17 season and featured in two games in the 2018-19 campaign.

Since 2020-21, though, Sedekerskis has been a regular member of Baskonia’s first-team setup. He played in 32 games that season, 27 in 2021-22, 23 in 2022-23 and 23 so far in 2023-24. This current campaign has been Sedekerskis’s most impressive to date, averaging 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a 15.7 PIR. His overall totals in points, rebounds and PIR are career-best marks, too: 225 points, 162 rebounds, and 362 combined PIR.

Sedekerskis has appeared in 120 EuroLeague games for Baskonia and 277 overall. He was a part of the Baskonia side that became the Spanish League champion in the 2019-20 season.
