It is official broadcaster. In Lithuania will be 19:05, so in USA probably 12:05. And I don't think that Valančiūnas play in this game.

What's up? He's already back in Lithunania? And his team is playing?

I'm guessing because he actually played an imporant role on the team and they needed him ? Biyombo was unknown so he needed to showcase his talents. Valanciunas game was already scouted very well. No need for him to participate in unimportant all star game.

He didn't play because his team played in Lithuania finals and needed him.
Valanciunas gave interview in Lithuania and said he is happy with raptors as he will play with kleiza, also city seems very nice and european ,in conlusion he is happy that raptors picked him.

As far as i've heard, Biyombo actually ditched his team in Spain (Baloncesto Fuenlabrada) and flew to hoop summit without their permission, after which he was immediately fired and sued for a buy-out. :roll:

I was watching one of the VAL videos and I see Gheradini scouting him, was pretty cool.
