On July 6, 2018, he signed a three-year contract with Alba Berlin of the Basketball Bundesliga.[8]

On July 4, 2020, Giedraitis signed a three-year deal with the Spanish Liga ACB champions Saski Baskonia.[9] On 9 October 2020, Giedraitis scored 26 points in the EuroLeague and this way achieved his new career-high in the league.[10] On July 14, 2023, Giedratis parted ways with Baskonia after three seasons together.

In 2015 Giedraitis was included into the Lithuania men's national basketball team head coach Jonas Kazlauskas extended candidates list.[11] He also participated in the national team training camp, but was released on August 16.[12] He returned to the national team in 2016, but yet again was quickly released on July 5.[13] In 2017, Giedraitis was invited to team's training camp in preparation for the EuroBasket 2017 championship, only to be released on August 11.[14]
