Vlatko Čančar is in his fifth season with the Nuggets, averaging 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting 57.1% from the field and 50.0% from beyond the arc. He is now out indefinitely due to a knee injury, which is particularly unfortunate given that he missed the entire 2023-24 season. Coach Michael Malone expressed deep sympathy for him, highlighting Čančar's contributions as a reliable "glue guy" for the team. While the injury is not necessarily season-ending, Malone encouraged him to prioritize his well-being. Throughout his career, Čančar has averaged 3.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 134 games, showcasing his potential when given the opportunity.
