## Resource

Denver Nuggets cut ties with backup center Jonas Valanciunas after a disappointing playoff performance against the Timberwolves, despite his solid contributions during the regular season. Rumors swirled about a potential return to Europe, including a false report linking him to Lithuania’s Zalgiris Kaunas — which Valanciunas himself debunked, saying he wasn’t involved in those decisions. His brief stint with Denver, where he brought size and surprising playmaking off the bench, may now be over. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are scrambling to retain restricted free agent Peyton Watson, hoping to avoid another wave of key player departures. Valanciunas’ next destination remains uncertain — NBA or overseas? Stay tuned. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
