Russia coach David Blatt confirmed to FIBA.com that NBA forward and EuroBasket 2007 MVP Andrei Kirilenko will be in Lithuania competing for the national team.

"He'll be with us 100% when we go to our first training camp outside Russia,” Blatt said, with Kirilenko having not featured for Russia since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

“In less than a week he'll be joining us.

"The insurance issue is something that I do not handle but our federation is completely on top of it and has taken care of that.

“In Andrei's case, I believe it's already done.”
