Denver Nuggets center Vlatko Cancar (knee) will be active for the first time since mid-November on Wednesday when his team hosts the Kings. Cancar has only played four games this season and only averaged 8.4 minutes in those games. He hasn't made a fantasy impact yet, but he will be able to play and could work his way into the mix as a backup big for the Nuggets. On Wednesday, he could see the floor if Denver is without Nikola Jokic (ankle), who remains a game-time decision.
Vlatko Cancar Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup With Kings
Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Cancar has been out of action since November 19th and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in early December. The 27-year-old has only played in four games this season. If he does return tonight, his minutes will be limited, meaning he won't factor into fantasy against the Kings.
The Denver Nuggets announced forward Vlatko Cancar (ankle) will suit up for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Cancar has been dealing with a right-ankle sprain that has kept him off the court for the last nine games. The 27-year-old grabbed one rebound in two minutes during the only game he's played in this regular season. He will likely see a lot of playing time in his return, as Nikola Jokic (personal) and Aaron Gordon (calf) are both sidelined.
Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 27-year-old has only appeared in one game so far this season and has been on the court for two minutes. The Nuggets are currently 2-2 and their depth has looked worse than usual. Cancar hasn't exactly cracked the usual rotation just yet, so he's not on the fantasy radar. If he doesn't play, however, there should be some more minutes for Peyton Watson, Dario Saric, and maybe even Zeke Nnaji.
Free-agent forward Vlatko Cancar agreed to an undisclosed deal to return to the Denver Nuggets. The team declined his player option a few weeks ago. However, the Nuggets were expected to bring him back. The 26-year-old has averaged 3.5 points and 1.7 rebounds during his career. Unfortunately, he missed the 2023-24 campaign after suffering a torn ACL last summer. With the Nuggets lacking bench options, Cancar could see some minutes this season, so his statistical contributions will likely increase, although not enough to be a reliable fantasy contributor.
The Denver Nuggets have declined the team option of forward Vlatko Cancar (knee). The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL last summer and underwent surgery. As a result, he wasn't available for the Nuggets in 2023-24. Cancar has averaged only 3.5 points and 1.7 rebounds during his career but was in line for an increased role ahead of last season. With that said, Denver may offer him a new minimum contract, so there's a good chance Cancar remains with the Nuggets. However, he won't see much fantasy interest unless he gets routine minutes, regardless of the team he's on.
According to Mike Singer of the Denver Post, Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar (knee) had surgery to repair his torn left ACL. He is out indefinitely. The 26-year-old sustained the injury during an international exhibition against Greece while playing for Slovenia. Cancar, who finished last season by averaging 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists, was forecasted to receive more minutes this season. But now he probably won't play in 2023-24, considering he may need up to 12 months to recover.
Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar (knee) suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. The 26-year-old, suiting up for Slovenia, sustained the injury during Friday's World Cup exhibition versus Greece. It's horrible news for Cancar, who ended the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Although those numbers didn't make him a desirable fantasy asset, he was projected to see an enhanced role in 2023-24, primarily after the Nuggets lost Bruce Brown and Jeff Green in free agency. Unfortunately, Cancar will need surgery, meaning he may miss the entire season.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Vlatko Cancar (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago. He was also questionable ahead of Monday's contest against Toronto but missed a second consecutive game. The Nuggets have gotten some really solid minutes out of Cancar over the second half of the season. He posted 8.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists with 50.6 percent shooting from the field last month. Jeff Green has soaked in Cancar's minutes while he's been nursing a right wrist sprain and should do so again Wednesday if Cancar can't play. However, the veteran has done very little during his time on the court and doesn't really offer anything to fantasy managers.
Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar (wrist) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. He was unable to play on Friday and his status will likely clear up either way after shootaround. He's been getting some of the most minutes out of the forwards on the bench, so there will be plenty of minutes to go around for Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. Both of which are solid streaming options in most leagues.
