Jonas Valanciunas will not be playing for the Raptors during the 11-12 NBA season.

“I’m currently with Lietuvos Rytas and I’m not really interested in those talks. There’s a lot to be done here. I’m in Lietuvos Rytas, not the Raptors,” said Valanciunas.

“Jonas will stay in Lietuvos Rytas until the end of the season. This has been agreed and we are not going to break the agreement,” said the club’s sporting director Martynas Purlys.
