Vlatko Čančar: Breaking News

Limited impact in 2024-25 campaign

Cancar finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 1.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 three-pointers, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks across 10.5 minutes per game in 13 regular-season appearances. Cancar received limited run during the regular season, and he played only 11 minutes across three appearances in the playoffs. The 28-year-old forward missed an extended period after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in December. He had previously undergone surgery in August 2023 to repair a torn ACL in the same knee. Cancar has spent all five years of his NBA career in Denver and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Rare appearance Tuesday

Cancar racked up no counting stats in two minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Cancar logged minutes for the second straight game, albeit a garbage-time performance. Prior to the last two games, Cancar had not left the bench for seven consecutive games. At this point, he is nothing more than a depth piece, made available if and when the result is non-negotiable.

Sees extended run

Cancar had five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors. With Christian Braun (foot), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (elbow) all sidelined Monday, Cancar saw some rare rotation minutes Monday. He saw a combined nine minutes in three previous March appearances. Fantasy managers shouldn't chase this line from Cancar with those three injured players considered day-to-day.
