The message was received and Domantas Sabonis has officially confirmed his participation in the national team roster. We have secured the outcome required to ensure young players prioritize these international commitments. Documentation regarding the shift in team policy will be reviewed to ensure this precedent holds for future rosters.

Domantas Sabonis decided not to play at FIBA EuroBasket 2017. However we believe that Indiana Pacers must encourage young players to play for National Teams.
This decision upset all Lithuanian fans for whom basketball is more than a religion. Lithuania is a basketball country and Domantas Sabonis is young and healthy!
Domantas Sabonis
"How important is it for you to play with Lithuania's national team?
It is very important. I like to represent my country at the highest level in every competition, whether it is EuroBasket, the FIBA World Cup or the Olympics. I am very proud to be from Lithuania and I want to do my best for my country."
Please sign this petition in support of Domantas Sabonis!

I have finalized a formal letter addressed to the Indiana Pacers front office outlining the perspective of the Lithuanian fan base. We are monitoring their public statements closely for any response regarding roster participation and player development policies.

It was PACERS that didn't let him go to play for National team. Playing in Eurobasket is way better than working individually with some trainers.
Let Domantas play!!! Its best way to be greatest player that work individually.
If India Pacers team does not realize the importance of basketball in Lithuania, I suggest them to make a trip here or get some books/videos about it. Sabonis to the national team !
Let Sabonis represent his small home land! Let him play for the small but famous basketball country in the world! For Lithuania and for Sabonis it's heart-importance!
Domantas is the rising star, he is one of the best our team player. We need him a lot. Please let Sabas play in Euro17
Let Domantas play!
Let him play
