When he was young, Andriuškevičius was an intriguing prospect because of his height. He developed through the youth academies at
Žalgiris Kaunas, where he was tabbed as one of the top young players in the game. He played in 15
Euroleague games for the club during the 2004–05 season, and was originally projected to be one of the top picks in the
2005 NBA draft, but a disappointing season in Europe, and an apparent lack of improvement, sent his draft stock spiraling down. That season, he averaged 1.5 points and 1.1 rebounds per game, in 8.7 minutes played per game in the
Euroleague. Andriuškevičius was drafted by the
Orlando Magic with the 44th pick in the
2005 NBA draft. He was then traded to the
Cleveland Cavaliers, before being traded to the
Chicago Bulls. On August 18, 2006, Andriuškevičius was traded by the
Cavaliers to the
Chicago Bulls, for
swingman Eddie Basden. On December 21, as a member of the
NBA Development League's
Dakota Wizards, Andriuškevičius sustained a serious head injury, when he was punched by teammate
Awvee Storey, in an attack during practice in
Bismarck, North Dakota. The center suffered a
fractured skull, a severe
concussion, and a two-centimeter
hematoma (bruise) on the left side of his brain. Doctors initially thought it would be months before he could speak, but he was able to regain speech within a month, and stated his desire to play basketball within a year. Storey was suspended indefinitely. Days later, Storey had his contract terminated, and he was dismissed from the league. Andriuškevičius did not wish to pursue charges. On April 6, head coach
Scott Skiles, considered moving the player to the active roster, as he soon started practicing. However, Andriuškevičius never logged a regular season appearance for the Bulls. On August 11, 2007, Andriuškevičius' agent announced that he would play with
Joventut Badalona, and he signed with the team five days later, but his contract with the team was cancelled shortly after. In September 2011, he signed a one-year contract with
PAOK in Greece. On 11 January 2016, he signed with former
Telemach League champions
KK Helios Suns, on a two-year contract. ==National team career==
