A report on Friday stated that the 33-year-old center had arrived in Athens and was preparing to undergo a physical and finalize a three-year deal worth 12M euros with the Greek team.

While ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday that the Denver Nuggets agreed to acquire big man Jonas Valančiūnas in exchange for Dario Šarić, the former might not play in the NBA next season.

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.
