Dominykas Stenionis is a new FIATC Girona player. The Lithuanian point guard has signed a temporary contract with a team option through the end of the 2026/27 season, an effective addition that strengthens Marc Gasol's backcourt in the Liga Endesa.
The move, announced on September 2, addresses the need to cover Isaac Vázquez's injury and handle a dual-competition start. The signing was confirmed by acb.com oficial and reported in detail by SPORT — Baloncesto.
A point guard for immediate rotation
Stenionis arrives as a free agent from Latvian side Valmiera Glass VIA. At 24 years old and 1.79 meters tall, he lands in Girona after averaging 13.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game last season with a 17.1 efficiency rating.
The deal is temporary but includes a team option to extend his stay through the end of the campaign. That structure fits the club's urgency: adding a playmaker without locking in a full-season commitment immediately.
Profile and career path
A product of Zalgiris Kaunas' youth system, Stenionis later played for Nevezis and Lietkabelis, where he made his European debut in the EuroCup. His most recent stint in Latvia brought a Latvian-Estonian league title and the Latvian Cup, plus MVP honors in the cup final.
He has also made his senior debut with Lithuania, confirming his growth beyond the domestic scene. His playmaking and transition creation fit an electric backcourt profile.
Fit within Girona's project
FIATC Girona needed to expand its point-guard options after Vázquez's injury. Stenionis brings pace, organization and shot creation to a roster facing Liga Endesa and European competition from the opening weeks.
Sporting director Fernando San Emeterio described him as "small, but with a lot of character and very electric," stressing that he fits the team's basketball identity. The coaching staff expects this signing to add depth and alternatives at the lead-guard spot during a demanding start to the season.
Roster context
Stenionis' arrival does not close Girona's market window, but it does solve an immediate backcourt need. His ACB adaptation will be the first test for a player who dominated a lower-tier league and must now prove his playmaking translates at Spain's top level.
