Jonas Valančiūnas: Breaking News

Headed to bench

Valanciunas will come off the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Spurs. Nikola Jokic (wrist) will return from a one-game absence, but he'll likely have his minutes limited, so Valanciunas could still see quality playing time in the reserve role. Per 36 minutes this season, Valanciunas owns averages of 23.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Vintage performance in win

Valanciunas ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Friday's 127-107 win over the Thunder. Valanciunas turned back the clock, moving into the starting lineup, as Denver opted to rest a number of its starters. Against a Thunder team that adopted the same strategy, Valanciunas was able to take full advantage, delivering his best performance of the season. While it was great to see some juice in the legs, don't expect Valanciunas to play more than about 12 minutes once the playoffs arrive.

Starting against Oklahoma City

Valanciunas will start in Friday's game against Oklahoma City, Justin Martinez of The Oklahomanreports. With Nikola Jokic (wrist) sitting out, Valanciunas will start for the first time since the 128-125 win over the Jazz on March 2. In five starts during the 2025-26 campaign, the 33-year-old has averaged 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals across 23.6 minutes.
