Lithuania star center and team captain Jonas Valanciunas won’t play in the upcoming Olympic Games Qualifiers due to his status as an NBA free agent, LKF (Lithuanian Federation) general secretary Mindaugas Balciunas announced. “Jonas really wants to play for the national team and the insurance situation isn’t a problem. The condition that we can’t meet is irrelevant to these two factors. Jonas must be healthy at the beginning of July when signing a contract. No one can guarantee that,” Balciunas said in a press conference, per the Lithuanian Basketball Federation.
