Saric (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Sunday.
Saric has struggled to see consistent minutes as the backup center behind Nikola Jokic, but his injury issues haven't helped him, either. He's missed the last five games with a sprained left ankle, and the doubtful tag suggests he's unlikely to suit up Sunday. If that's the case, then DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji should continue to see steady run in the frontcourt behind Jokic,

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Idle Thursday
Rotowire
Saric (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against Portland.
Saric's absence streak extends to five games Thursday as he continues to tend to a sprained left ankle. Saric plays a minimal role when the Nuggets are at full health, so his absence shouldn't have any fantasy impact. His next chance to play will come Sunday at New Orleans -- the first leg of a back-to-back.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Out vs. Wizards
Rotowire
Saric (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Saric didn't play in any of the Nuggets' last five games in coach's decisions, but he apparently sprained his left ankle at some point during a recent practice and will miss Saturday's contest as a result. Regardless of whether he returns to hardwood for the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday in Atlanta, he's unlikely to be a factor in the rotation.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Lands in Denver
Rotowire
Saric agreed Saturday with the Nuggets on a two-year, $10.6 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Saric appeared in 64 games (nine starts) with the Warriors in 2023-24 and averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.2 minutes per regular-season contest, but he fell out of the rotation over the final month of the regular season. The 30-year-old should face less established competition for a reserve role in the Denver frontcourt and will likely enter training camp as the frontrunner to serve as the top backup at center to three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

Dario Saric: Triple-double versus Slovenia
Rotowire
Saric accumulated 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes in Croatia's 108-92 win over Slovenia on Tuesday.
Saric is currently an unrestricted free agent, and his play against Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. The 30-year-old big man proved his worth as a passer and rebounder. His ability to play either position down low for whatever club he goes to next was also on display. Saric averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 17.2 minutes over 64 regular-season games with the Warriors last season.
