Professional career
Delininkaitis established his career in Lietuvos Rytas. Alongside Robertas Javtokas and Simas Jasaitis, he led Rytas to an ULEB Cup (now called EuroCup) trophy in 2005, although Rytas lost the LKL and BBL titles to their Lithuanian rivals Žalgiris that season.
In the next season, Rytas played in the EuroLeague, where Delininkaitis began to fade away from his leadership role in the team, and he was left only as a reserve player. Still, Rytas had their best season that year, winning their easiest LKL Finals series (4–0) against Žalgiris. In his last season with Rytas, Delininkaits was the team's sixth man, and he helped Rytas reach their 2nd ULEB Cup (EuroCup) final, which they lost to Real Madrid 75–87. In 2007, he signed with Azovmash Mariupol. In 2009, he joined Budivelnyk Kyiv. After playing a fraction of the 2008–2009 season, he moved to CB Murcia to start his 2009–2010 season. After the relegation and the financial problems of Murcia, his contract was terminated, and he joined PAOK, in April 2010. He appeared in 6 games (4 games of the regular season and 2 play-off games) for the Greek side, and he averaged 10.33 points, 2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.[1]
After winning a bronze medal with the senior Lithuanian national basketball team, in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, he was signed by Žalgiris Kaunas,[2] and became a key player for the team.
On 5 November 2014, he signed with AEK Athens of the Greek Basket League.[3] In 25 regular season games, he averaged 9.76 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game[4]
On 12 January 2016, he signed with Rethymno of the Greek Basket League, for the rest of the season.[5]
On 12 August 2016, he signed with Vytautas Prienai-Birštonas. In April, he helped BC Vytautas win the BBL championship, becoming the MVP in the process. Later he was named to the LKL All-Tournament Team on June 13, 2017.[6]
On 20 July 2017, he signed with Neptūnas Klaipėda.[7]
