Notably, the Nuggets moved Saric to the Kings in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas. The trade was initially reported on July 1 and was closely monitored after the rumors of Valanciunas was attempting to stay away from the NBA after getting an offer from Greece&rsquo;s Panathinaikos. However, per ESPN, the Nuggets expect Valanciunas to honor the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> contract which has two years and almost $20 million remaining on it.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">We have acquired Jonas Valan&#269;i&#363;nas from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Dario &Scaron;ari&#263; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bgohjQOTeh\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/bgohjQOTeh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuggets\/status\/1944504601610449142?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 13, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The 33-year-old moved to the Washington Wizards before the 2024-25 season in a three-year $30 million contract. However, in February 2025, he was traded to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for two second-round draft picks and forward Sidy Cissoko. He averaged 11.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the Wizards and recorded an average of 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game for the Kings in the 2024-25 season. &nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Update on Jonas Valanciunas&rsquo; Situation Despite Official Announcement&nbsp;<\/h2><p>While the trade has been made official by the Denver Nuggets, there is still no confirmation if things have been smoothed out between both the parties. Earlier, when he was in Athens, meeting with Panathinaikos, Valanciunas gave a cryptic answer about his future in the league. Since then, several things have been said and while the whole situation still lacks clarity, the Nuggets are executing things as if the Lithuanian will play a key bench role the next season.&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, with rumors doing rounds that he wants to leave the NBA, might cause a big problem for the Nuggets, who would want all the players on the roster to have one focus- winning. Fans and fraternity remain optimistic that the Nuggets would be able to convince him to get on the board. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft has averaged a near double-double for his career and will definitely provide a spark off the bench. Not only this, but he might also get a few chances to suit up alongside Nikola Jokic the next season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonas Valanciunas averaged 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game for the Kings in the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":73834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[412,5527],"class_list":["post-73833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-denver-nuggets","tag-jonas-valanciunas"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Denver Nuggets Officially Trade Dario Saric to Sacramento Kings in Order to Sign Jonas Valanciunas&nbsp; - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Nuggets made Dario Saric&#039;s trade to the Kings official.
