Valanciunas

The Valanciunas-Panathinaikos deal has fallen through, and the Lithuanian player will not be playing in Greece, according to the latest reports on the situation.

What was set to be a questionable summer move has now been ruled out: the Denver Nuggets have informed Jonas Valanciunas’ agents that they intend to honour the player’s existing contract with the NBA franchise.

This means that the Lithuanian centre will not be moving to Panathinaikos, the Greek club that had sought to sign him and had even reached an agreement with him.

According to Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets consider Valanciunas to be an important member of their team, and the perfect player to play alongside Nikola Jokić when the Serbian superstar is not on the court.
