Regular Season Round 17: Rytas - Juventus 96-99

Date: January 24, 2026
The most exciting game of round 17 in the LKL took place in Vilnius. This derby game ended with only three-point home defeat of second-ranked Rytas (9-6) to sixth ranked Juventus (7-8) 99-96 on Saturday evening. Juventus made 17-of-19 free shots (89.5 percent) during the game. Swingman Lukas Uleckas (199-1999) orchestrated the victory by scoring 23 points and 8 rebounds. American guard Hassan Diarra (188-2001, college: UConn) contributed with 17 points and 4 assists for the winners. Juventus' coach Kestutis Kemzura used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American-Polish point guard Jerrick Harding (185-1998, college: Weber St.) answered with 28 points and 6 rebounds and German Kay Bruhnke (204-2001) added 13 points and 4 assists in the effort for Rytas. Five Rytas players scored in double figures. Juventus maintains sixth place with 7-8 record. Rytas lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the third position with six games lost. Juventus are looking forward to face higher ranked Siauliai (#4) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Rytas will play against the league's second-placed Neptunas in Klaipeda and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
