Arizona forward Paulius Murauskas enters the transfer portal
Arizona forward Paulius Murauskas has entered his name into the transfer portal.
Murauskas just finished his first and now only season with the Wildcats in Tucson. He appeared in 23 games as a freshman and averaged 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in around five minutes a contest.
Murauskas hails from Kaunas, Lithuania. Over his career overseas, he played for several teams including BC Zalgiris Kaunas, Nevezis Kediainai, and then, most recently and notably, Lietkabelis in the EuroCup.
Murauskas is now the second loss to the portal for Arizona in this cycle. Filip Borovicanin was reportedly planning to transfer earlier on Monday and has since officially entered the portal. Now, Murauskas joins him as the second transfer and the second international player to leave the program.
Arizona has yet to add any transfers as of yet. They’ve had some connections to potential players but have recently been focused on the NCAA Tournament, an appearance that came to an end last week against Clemson in the Sweet 16.
