Jonas Valanciunas sets record straight: he will play for Nuggets
Jonas Valanciunas appears to be all-in for his 14th NBA season. After initially balking about joining the Denver Nuggets, the 6-foot-11 Valanciunas said this week that he will play for the franchise. Denver acquired him from the Sacramento Kings earlier this month but the 33-year-old Lithuanian was more interested in playing overseas for Greek team Panathinaikos. "I want to clear the air about my playing situation next season now that Denver has made their decision to keep me," Valanciunas told BasketNews. "The idea of playing for Panathinaikos, closer to home, was very exciting to me, but that will have to wait. I am fully committed to honoring my contract with the Nuggets this season and will give it my all to compete for a championship." Valanciunas is entering the second season of a three-year, $30.3 million deal. The Nuggets acquired Valanciunas to give backup support to center Nikola Jokic, a three-time league MVP. Jokic averaged a career-high 36.7 minutes per game last season, his eighth straight campaign of averaging more than 30 minutes per outing. Valanciunas has played as a reserve just 89 times in his 937-game career and 60 of them came last season when he split the campaign between the Washington Wizards (49 games) and Kings (32). He averaged 10.4 points and 7.7 rebounds while averaging a career-low 18.8 minutes. Overall, Valanciunas has career averages of 13.1 points and 9.3 rebounds while playing for the Toronto Raptors (2012-19), Memphis Grizzlies (2019-21), New Orleans Pelicans (2021-24), Wizards and Kings. He has a career field-goal percentage of 56%.

Ryan McMahon hits 3-run HR, Mickey Moniak adds solo shot as Rockies beat Cardinals 8-4
DENVER — Ryan McMahon hit a three-run home run, Bradley Blalock allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched and the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on Tuesday night. Blalock (1-2) earned the win, giving up eight hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Mickey Moniak hit a solo shot off Cardinals starter Erick Fedde (3-10) in the first, Adael Amador hit a two-run double in the second and McMahon's homer in the third gave the Rockies a 6-0 advantage. Ezequiel Tovar hit a two-out double and scored on Brenton Doyle's single in the fifth. Nolan Arenado and Masyn Winn each had an RBI in the fourth and Brendan Donovan's double drove in Victor Scott II in the seventh. Jordan Walker hit a two-out double and scored on a pinch-hit double by Yohel Pozo to make it 7-4 in the eighth. Moniak drew a two-out walk with the bases loaded to cap the scoring. Fedde gave up six runs on seven hits in three innings pitched. With one out and Scott on first base in the third, Donovan hit a fly ball to the warning track in right-center field. Doyle made a diving catch in the gap and then threw out Scott — who had already rounded second base on his way to third — at first for a double play to end the inning and preserve Colorado's 3-0 lead. Eight Rockies batters combined to strike out 13 times. Andre Pallante (5-6, 4.71 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday for the Cardinals to wrap up a three-game series. The Rockies have not announced their starting pitcher. ___ AP MLB:
