While ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday that the Denver Nuggets agreed to acquire big man Jonas Valančiūnas in exchange for Dario Šarić, the former might not play in the NBA next season.

The Nuggets landed the former first-round pick in a trade that sent Dario Saric to the Kings, but the deal cannot be completed until the new league year begins July 6.

The second flipped Dario Sarič to Sacramento for Jonas Valančiūnas, seemingly solving the Nuggets' backup center problem that's persisted for a few years now. However, new reports indicate that deal may not get done as Valančiūnas may not even play in the NBA next year.
