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, everyone shared what everyone thinks. We’ll only find out when the first game is played. Everything will be clear.”

“When the trade is finalized, we’ll come up with a plan. They [Nuggets] will express their wishes, how they think, how they see it… medical, other details. That will depend on the team,” Valanciunas had previously mentioned regarding his trade to Denver.

There are reports from Greece about Valanciunas having a verbal agreement on a multiyear deal with Panathinaikos while he’s still bound by his NBA contract. He’s been traded by the Sacramento Kings to the Nuggets but the latter still haven’t made the deal official.
