Jonas Valanciunas reportedly in talks with Panathinaikos

Jonas Valanciunas could leave the Denver Nuggets and the NBA to accept the tight court of Panathinaikos.

The “bombshell” comes from Donatas Urbonas of Basketnews, who speaks of an offer of almost 12 million euros over three years for the 33-year-old Lithuanian centre.

Valanciunas in recent days has moved from the Kings to the Nuggets in exchange for Dario Saric, another European big man who could leave the NBA.

His current NBA deal includes just under $10.4 million guaranteed for 2025/26, and another $10 non-granted for the following season.

Valanciunas is coming off a year with 10.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2 assists in 18 minutes
