The 6-10 Post Player Signs On For Upcoming 2026-27 Season.
California men’s basketball welcomes an international addition to head coach Mark Madsen‘s program with the signing of Lithuanian 6-foot-10 post player Dominykas Daubaris. He will join the Golden Bears as a freshman for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
“Dominykas is one of the most promising young prospects out of Europe this season,” Madsen said of Daubaris. “His combination of size and skill make him a threat both on the perimeter and inside offensively. He uses his high-level intuition and length to make an impact defensively. We cannot wait to add Dominykas to the Cal Family!”
At the 2025 FIBA U18 Eurobasket in Serbia, Daubaris averaged 11.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game for Lithuania. He also represented his country at the 2023 FIBA U16 European Championship On the club side, he competed at the 2025 BWB Global and has played for club team Zalgiris in the Lithuanian LKL.
Daubaris joins a Cal program that made big strides in 2025-26 in recording the most wins in a season (22) since 2016 and its first postseason win since 2014. Last season’s squad also recorded eight games with 90-plus points scored and had five players ranked in top-100 national statistical categories.
Currently, Daubaris is one of seven newcomers officially signed on for 2026-27, joining incoming freshman guard/forward Dionycius Bakare and transfers Michael Cooper, Nojus Indrusaitis, Nicolas Mitrovic, Jordan Ross and Jake Wilkins.
