In an interview with Essentially Sports, Varan was asked about his contract, but he said he didn't want to worry about it now.

Valanciunas: "Honestly, this year is all about winning. We got off to a great start. It could have been better, the two games we lost were close games, which wasn't great. But so far, it's been a great opportunity. We've won a lot of games. We're focused on winning this year. I'm not watching the summer What will happen, or the free market, etc. I don't look at that. I just focus on the present and trying to win will solve everything."

Varan's salary for the 26-27 season is about $10 million, but it is partially guaranteed. If the team terminates his contract before July 8 next year, he will only need to pay $2 million.
