  The Lithuanian team withdrew from the iF3 World Championships following the disqualification of Kornelija Dudaite. This decision was made shortly after the athlete wore a shirt that criticized Russia.

The Lithuanian basketball team withdrew from the 3x3 World Cup qualifiers in Hong Kong due to a dispute involving the Russian flag. During the event, the Russian team was allowed to display their national flag, which contravened the International Basketball Federation (FIBA)'s rules that prohibit Russian and Belarusian teams from using their national symbols due to geopolitical tensions. Despite FIBA's acknowledgment of the breach and their promise to investigate, Lithuania chose to exit the tournament in protest, highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding the participation of Russian athletes in international sports amidst the conflict in Ukraine.
