Jonas Valanciunas has confirmed his commitment to the Denver Nuggets for the upcoming season, despite offers from Greek team Panathinaikos. Valanciunas, who is 6-foot-11, was traded to the Nuggets from the Sacramento Kings, and he has one guaranteed year left on his contract worth $10 million. He expressed his excitement about playing for the Nuggets and his intention to compete for a championship. Nuggets executive Ben Tenzer assured there were no concerns regarding Valanciunas's commitment to the team following his trade the previous month.
I want to clear the air about my playing situation next season now that Denver has made their decision to keep me. The idea of playing for Panathinaikos, closer to home, was very exciting to me, but that will have to wait.
There's been nothing but healthy conversations in terms of him honoring his contract and him excited to be a Nugget.
