Lithuanian Basketball Team Apologizes to Dennis Schroder Over Racist Fans

After Germany’s win over Lithuania, Dennis Schroder said fans made monkey sounds during the break. Two offenders were removed after Linas Kleiza alerted arena security. Lithuanian federation president Mindaugas Balciunas apologized, calling the behavior “completely unacceptable” and saying it “goes against our values.” He warned such acts hurt athletes, damage Lithuania’s reputation, and urged fans to show honorable, inspiring support.
