* A former player for the Denver Nuggets, Jonas Valanciunas, has decided to play basketball in his home country of Lithuania. He will play for a team called Zalgiris Kaunas.
* Valanciunas was a backup center for the Nuggets last season and played well, but the team decided to let him go. Now, he's going back to Europe to continue his basketball career.
