for being one of the reasons Russian teams got disqualified from the Euroleague. Žalgiris finished the Euroleague season with a memorable win against KK Crvena zvezda 103–98 at home, in what was the last Euroleague game from Paulius Jankūnas. Žalgiris finished the Euroleague with an 8–20 record - 15th place, above the disqualified CSKA, UNICS and Zenit, but still in last place - worst Euroleague finish since the 2015–2016 season. By the start of April, disappointment returned to Žalgiris - struggles even in the LKL resulted in Žalgiris once again falling behind Rytas in the standings, and finished behind Rytas in the LKL standings for the first time since the 2013–2014 season. In April, Žalgiris made a decision to replace Zdovc, with Žalgiris signing Lithuanian national basketball team coach Kazys Maksvytis as head coach. The decision proved to be disastrous for Žalgiris - under Maksvytis, the team struggled, and coach Maksvytis had failed to find a good rotation or lineup with the existing roster. In the LKL playoffs, the struggles became even more evident - Žalgiris needed all five games to beat BC Neptūnas in the quarterfinals, narrowly winning the series 3-2. In the semifinals, Žalgiris faced BC Lietkabelis - Žalgiris won the first game, before losing the next three games - for the first time in history, Žalgiris failed to qualify to the LKL finals, losing the series 1-3, ending their 11 year domination of the LKL, and suffering the biggest fiasco in club history. To add more insult, BC Rytas went on to win the LKL championship. Fan support plummeted and even resulted in boycotts (which ended early due to the retirement of Paulius Jankūnas). Žalgiris finished the season by winning the LKL bronze medals, beating BC Šiauliai. Paulius Jankūnas retired after the season, and became the sports director of Žalgiris, having a lot of work after what became the worst season of the team since the independence of Lithuania in 1990.
