The biggest news of the recent hours is that Jonas Valanciunas is expected in Athens to undergo medicals ahead of his possible astonishing move to Panathinaikos.
Someone who knows the Lithuanian center very well is Sarunas Jasikevicius, who is also present in the Greek capital for the EuroLeague Head Coaches Board Congress.
Interviewed by Nova Sports, the reigning EuroLeague champion spoke about the former Toronto Raptors center likely landing in Europe. “He’ll be in Athens in two hours,” he commented while smiling during the afternoon.
“He’s not in Athens yet, but ask Jonas about what happened yesterday. For me, Jonas is very special, and he will always be like this; he’s special. We sat together in Abu Dhabi until late,” Jasikevicius continued.
As first reported by Donatas Urbonas from Basket News, the 33-year-old center is considering an offer amounting to 12 million euros in a three-year contract with the 2023-24 EuroLeague champions.
