Valančiūnas, who has two years remaining on the deal he signed with the Sacramento Kings last offseason, has reportedly been pursued by Greek team Panathinaikos for a potential return to pro hoops in Europe. The Nuggets intend to have Valančiūnas honor his NBA contract, however, per ESPN.

Jonas Valanciunas is looking to return to Europe instead of staying with the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets recently agreed to send Dario Saric to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Valanciunas, which became official on Sunday.

Jonas Valanciunas has been lured into considering a return to the EuroLeague, where the Greek club Panathinaikos has offered him a three-year contract worth $13 million, according to a report by BasketNews. One problem: Valanciunas is under contract in the NBA. For $10.4 million next season, to be exact.
