The Denver Nuggets have "no concerns" about Jonas Valančiūnas reporting to the team, according to executive vice president Ben Tenzer (h/t DNVR Nuggets' Brendan Vogt).

Given that Valančiūnas still has two years left on his NBA deal, he would need to seek a buyout from the Nuggets in order to return to Europe, where he spent the first four seasons of his professional career.

The Jonas Valanciunas saga dragged on for quite some time. The Denver Nuggets did not know whether they finally had the reliable backup center that has eluded them during the Nikola Jokic era. A press conference to introduce Cam Johnson to the Denver media also allowed for some access to the front office executives.
