NBA center Jonas Valanciunas gave, as expected, a cryptic answer regarding his future in the aftermath of his trip to Greece to undergo medicals with Panathinaikos Athens and while he’s been traded to the Denver Nuggets. “You can say anything. A lot has already been said, all kind of thoughts” Valanciunas said while visiting the 2025 B8 Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, per 15min.lt. “The bubble burst, eeryone shared what everyone thinks. We’ll only find out when the first game is played. Everything will be clear.”

Latest word on the Kings/Kuminga front:
I’m told the Kings are content with bringing their current roster, including Monk & Carter, into next season if the Warriors decide not to move Kuminga.
The Jonas Valanciunas trade is expected still to go through, along with the Schroder – 4:10 PM

Marius Milasius: Jonas Valanciunas on his trip to Denver: “It’s quite far but you can do it quick these days. I don’t think there’s any issues with that. I can’t join the (National) team from the beginning (July 14) according to the NBA insurance rules. I think I will have time for everything.” -via Twitter / July 8, 2025
Marc Stein: Jonas Valančiūnas, speaking at the B8 Summit, said of joining the Nuggets: “When the trade is finalized, we’ll come up with a plan. They will express their wishes, how they think, how they see it.” He did not specify where he would prefer to play this season: Europe or the NBA. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / July 8, 2025
Marc Stein: The Jonas Valančiūnas-for-Dario Šarić trade is on course to be made official this week after Denver makes Michael Porter Jr.-for-Cam Johnson official, @TheSteinLine has learned. The Nuggets, I’m told, must make their Brooklyn trade official first before acquiring Valančiūnas. -via x.com / July 7, 2025
