The Nuggets will waive Valanciunas, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports Wednesday.
Analysis:Valanciunas was traded from Sacramento to Denver last offseason and averaged 8.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.4 minutes per tilt across 65 regular-season appearances (six starts) with the Nuggets in 2025-26. It's unclear whether the veteran center intends to remain in the NBA or head overseas, though he'll likely draw interest from several teams seeking a backup center and veteran presence.
