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).

A backup plan to bring in a backup center to spell Nikola Jokic no longer appears necessary. The Denver Nuggets expect Jonas Valanciunas to be with the team when the season starts amid speculation over his NBA future.

Details haven’t been nailed down yet regarding a time for team officials to see Valanciunas face-to-face, but the sense around the team is that he’s been cooperative.
