Nuggets Move To Waive Center Jonas Valanciunas

The Denver Nuggets are releasing veteran center Jonas Valanciunas, according to league sources cited by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The decision came ahead of a key contract deadline on Wednesday.
Valanciunas was set to earn $10 million for the 2026-27 season. That figure carried a partial guarantee of $2 million, but it would have become fully guaranteed had he remained on the roster past Wednesday. By waiving the 34-year-old, Denver avoids locking in the full salary for next year.
Details on Valanciunas’s next destination or the Nuggets’ corresponding roster moves were not immediately available.
