The 2020–21 BC Žalgiris season is the 77th season in the existence of the club. The club has been playing in the Betsafe-LKL, King Mindaugas Cup and the EuroLeague.

Overview[edit]

During the off-season, Šarūnas Jasikevičius left Žalgiris after four and a half seasons as a head coach of the team, signing for FC Barcelona. Subsequently, assistant coaches Darius Maskoliūnas and Tomas Masiulis, together with athletic coach Justinas Grainys, followed him to Barcelona. Players K. C. Rivers, Edgaras Ulanovas, and Zach LeDay signed with other EuroLeague teams. An 18-year-old Marek Blaževič was bought out from Žalgiris local rivals Rytas, signing for three years, although their Estonian prospect Kerr Kriisa decided to pursue his career in the USA college basketball. Lithuanian trio, Laurynas Birutis, Arnas Velička, and Gytis Masiulis left the club after playing mainly out on loan, with their contracts not being renewed. New arrivals included big man duo Augustine Rubit and Joffrey Lauvergne, both signed for one year contract, guard Steve Vasturia signed for a two-year contract (with a possible extension for another year), and swingman Patricio Garino. Žalgiris youth product Tomas Dimša returned to the team after five years, signing a two-year contract (with a possible extension for another year), but was loaned out shortly afterward.
