Undergoes arthroscopic knee surgery Cancar (knee) will be re-evaluated in 8 weeks following left knee surgery, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
Impact Cancar's injury woes with his left knee continue after initially tearing his ACL last summer while playing for Slovenia. Cancar only appeared in four contests this season, so Denver's current rotation will be unfazed, but subtracting a 27-year-old wing who ascended to 14.8 minutes while connecting on 37.4 percent of 1.9 threes per game across 60 appearances in 2022-23 is not ideal for Denver's future outlook.

Out indefinitely Coach Mike Malone said Thursday that Cancar (knee) is out for the foreseeable future, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Cancar suffered a left knee sprain during Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies and had already missed all of 2023-24 and a significant chunk of this season with a knee injury. While there is no official timetable for his return, it appears that Denver expects the 27-year-old forward to be sidelined for an extended period.

Out for remainder of game Tuesday Cancar has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against Memphis due to a left knee sprain, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports. Cancar will finish with five points...
Impact Cancar left the game at the 3:47 mark of the second quarter after landing awkwardly on his left leg following a dunk. The Nuggets are calling it a left knee sprain, though the forward will likely undergo further testing to make sure there is no significant damage to the knee.

Heads to locker room Tuesday Cancar (knee) went back to the locker room with 3:47 remaining in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against Memphis, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
Impact Cancar threw down a dunk but landed awkwardly on his left leg and grabbed at his left knee. The forward tore his ACL in the same knee last year, and it is unlikely he will return to the game. If Cancar remains out, he will finish with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and four rebounds across 11 minutes.

Available Sunday Cancar (ankle) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Cancar is available to suit up while dealing with a lingering ankle sprain. The 27-year-old forward suited up for the first time since the regular-season opener in Friday's loss to Indiana, during which he posted two points, two rebounds and one block across eight minutes.
NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Probable to play Sunday Cancar is probable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.
Impact Cancar played two minutes in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday, and while he's not fully recovered from the ankle sprain that caused him to miss six games, the probable tag suggests he should be able to suit up. That won't matter much for fantasy purposes, however, as Cancar doesn't contribute enough to be considered a player worth rostering in any format even if healthy.
NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Gets light minutes in return Cancar (ankle) logged two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one block in eight minutes off the bench in Fridays' 101-94 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Before missing the Nuggets' last six games with a sprained ankle, Cancar had been left outside of the rotation, but he was able to pick up some backup minutes in the frontcourt with Aaron Gordon (calf) and Nikola Jokic (personal) sitting out. The Nuggets could get Jokic back for Sunday's game at Memphis, but with Gordon's return still weeks away, Cancar could have the opportunity to retain a regular role on the second unit. However, Cancar's playing time is unlikely to climb substantially from what he received Friday, so he's still a long way from getting enough minutes to pop up on the fantasy radar.

Returning Friday Cancar (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Cancar has missed the Nuggets last nine regular-season games after spraining his right ankle in the regular-season opener Oct. 24. Cancar could see heavy minutes in his return as Nikola Jokic (personal) and Aaron Gordon (calf) have both been ruled out for Friday's contest.

Impact Cancar hasn't played since the club's regular-season opener, though he has ramped up his participation in practice while dealing with a sprained right ankle. The 27-year-old's absence is not expected to cause any waves in the rotation as he played only two minutes Opening Night.

Returns to practice Cancar (ankle) participated in the live portions of practice Thursday, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Impact It appears that Cancar is nearing a return to action after missing Denver's last six contests with a sprained right ankle. However, Cancar is unlikely to receive significant playing time even when available.

Impact Cancar has been unavailable since rolling his right ankle two minutes into his season debut on Opening Night.

His next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Miami.

Impact Cancar has appeared in only one regular-season game thus far, during which he played two minutes and logged one rebound in the season-opening loss to the Thunder.
