Saric provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies. Saric has been starting in the absence of Nikola Jokic (personal). While it's unthinkable to imagine Saric replicating the numbers of the three-time MVP winner, he's also far from being a liability on either end of the court. As long as he remains in a starting role, Saric should continue to have a decent upside as a streaming option in most formats.

Dario Saric Latest News
Double-doubles in loss Sunday
Saric provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies. Saric has been starting in the absence of Nikola Jokic (personal). While it's unthinkable to imagine Saric replicating the numbers of the three-time MVP winner, he's also far from being a liability on either end of the court. As long as he remains in a starting role, Saric should continue to have a decent upside as a streaming option in most formats.
Starting Friday
Saric is in the Nuggets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans. Despite being a healthy DNP over the Nuggets' last five games, Saric will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday due to Nikola Jokic (personal) being sidelined. Saric should see some more playing time with both Jokic and Aaron Gordon (calf) not playing.
Held scoreless
Saric chipped in zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one assist across five minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime win over the Raptors. Three games into the season, it's been clear that Saric will have a limited role for Denver when everyone is healthy. He's averaging 9.0 minutes per contest and has a total of two points to his name thus far.
Lands in Denver
Saric agreed Saturday with the Nuggets on a two-year, $10.6 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Saric appeared in 64 games (nine starts) with the Warriors in 2023-24 and averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.2 minutes per contest, but he fell out of the rotation over the final month of the regular season. The 30-year-old should face less established competition for a reserve role in the Denver frontcourt and will likely enter training camp as the frontrunner to serve as the top backup at center to three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
Triple-double versus Slovenia
Saric accumulated 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes in Croatia's 108-92 win over Slovenia on Tuesday. Saric is currently an unrestricted free agent, and his play against Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. The 30-year-old big man proved his worth as a passer and rebounder. His ability to play either position down low for whatever club he goes to next was also on display. Saric averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 17.2 minutes with the Warriors last season.
Cleared to play
Saric (knee) is available Friday against New Orleans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports. Saric hasn't been much of a factor within Golden State's rotation of late, but he'll be active if needed. He's appeared in one game since March 20.
Still dealing with knee pain
Saric (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to right knee lateral joint pain. Saric made his first appearance since March 20 on Thursday, playing six minutes during a win over Portland. He'll likely be available for the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set, but Saric isn't guaranteed playing time.
Gets six minutes in return
Saric (knee) finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes Thursday in the Warriors' 100-92 win over the Trail Blazers. Saric made his first appearance since March 20 after missing each of Golden State's previous seven games with right knee lateral joint pain. He checked into the game with 5:35 remaining in the second quarter and played the rest of the half, but Saric wasn't summoned from the bench at any point in the second half. Saric will likely drop out of the rotation if Draymond Green (knee) is able to return for the second leg of the Warriors' back-to-back set Friday versus the Pelicans.
Available against Portland
Saric (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Portland. Saric has been sidelined since March 20, but the veteran forward could potentially see a handful of minutes with Draymond Green resting a minor knee issue.
