Denver forced to stay? 👀If Valan wants to play in Europe, he will have to terminate the contract and FIBA ​​will open a clarification letter

Basketball     8:23am, 6 July 2025

According to famous reporter Marc Stein, several sources in the league revealed that the Nuggets will advance the deal tomorrow (the transaction can be officially announced on July 7) and are still determined to leave the veteran insider, hoping to let him serve as a substitute for Jokic, although Valencius received a offer from Greek giant Panasinakos.

Marc Stein said Valanciunas did arrive in Greece (Athens) earlier this weekend to meet with Panasinakos officials, but he is currently unable to sign with the Europa League team unless his NBA contract has been terminated.

Marc Stein also said that if the Nuggets choose to stick, Valanciunas will not be able to get a clarification letter from the FIBA ​​(to play in Greece).

A few days ago, the Nuggets exchanged Saric for Valancius, who wanted to leave the NBA and verbally agreed to join Panasinacos.
