CALGARY – University of Calgary Dinos men's basketball forward Martynas Sabaliauskas is returning to Europe after signing his first professional contract with Culture City Weimar in Germany.

The Vilnius, Lithuania native joined the Scarlet & Gold for the 2023-24 season and appeared in 63 career games across three seasons in Canada West. In his final campaign in 2025-26, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 16.3 minutes across 16 regular season games, shooting 44.1 per cent from the field. He posted a season-high 18 points in a Nov. 8 win over the Brandon Bobcats.

Sabaliauskas was named U SPORTS athlete of the week in January 2024 after averaging 30 points across a two-game weekend series against the Mount Royal Cougars. He went on to help the Dinos claim the Canada West title in 2024-25, taking down the UBC Thunderbirds before the program secured a silver medal at the U SPORTS Final 8 that same season.

Culture City Weimar competes in the 2. Basketball Bundesliga ProB, Germany's third tier of professional basketball.
