Details haven’t been nailed down yet regarding a time for team officials to see Valanciunas face-to-face, but the sense around the team is that he’s been cooperative.

Jonas Valanciunas was traded to the Denver Nuggets in a deal that sent Dario Saric to the Sacramento Kings. The trade, from Denver's standpoint, gives the franchise a reliable backup to star big man Nikola Jokic.

The Nuggets expect Jonas Valančiūnas to be with the team when the season starts amid speculation over his NBA future.
