On Thursday, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the Denver Nuggets and Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas amended the final season (subscription required) of the center's three-year deal, which he signed with the Wizards in 2024.
Fischer wrote that the two sides "mutually agreed to move the guarantee date on his 2026-27 salary from June 29 to July 8." It gives the Nuggets the option to use Valanu010diu016bnas' contract in a trade, rather than decide on his future before the start of free agency. That doesn't mean Denver is already planning to trade Valanu010diu016bnas, but the importance lies in the flexibility it gives the organization.
