Signs one-year, $2.43 million contract with the Nuggets in July of 2024. 
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2017
Despite signing a new three-year deal with the Nuggets, there is very little chance Cancar sees enough playing time to warrant attention in fantasy. Since being drafted in 2017, he has barely seen the floor, at least consistently, leaving him as an afterthought for all fantasy managers. Coming off a season in which he played just 15 times, there is no reason to think he can have any sort of value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return around February
Cancar underwent left knee surgery Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, the team announced Wednesday, meaning he could return at some point during February.
ANALYSIS
Cancar will be reappraised in eight weeks, so a return at some point around the All-Star break is not out of the question. He's unlikely to see heavy minutes, however, as Cancar made just four appearances for Denver before getting injured.
