Cancar is available to make his first appearance since November 19. He isn’t guaranteed to be in the rotation, but a few minutes may be available of Aaron Gordon (ankle) cannot play. Gordon is a game-time decision. There’s no need to consider streaming Cancar due to the time missed.

Cancar has been out since early December after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball if cleared to play, but Vlatko’s return would give the Nuggets’ frontcourt depth a welcome boost. Aaron Gordon (ankle) and Zeke Nnaji (ankle) are also questionable; Cancar may not even be in the rotation if they’re available.

Cancar underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee in early December, with it being announced at the time that he would be re-evaluated in eight weeks. His participation in Wednesday’s practice is positive, even though he was not a full participant. Cancar’s availability does not significantly impact the Nuggets’ rotation.

Cancar injured his knee during a November 19 game against the Grizzlies and has not played since. Part of the concern was that this was the same knee he injured (torn ACL) in the summer of 2023 that cost Cancar the entire 2023-24 campaign. His absence will not impact fantasy basketball.
