Saric chipped in zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one assist across five minutes during Monday's 127-125 overtime win over the Raptors.
Three games into the season, it's been clear that Saric will have a limited role for Denver when everyone is healthy. He's averaging 9.0 minutes per contest and has a total of two points to his name thus far.

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.

Warriors' Dario Saric: Gets six minutes in return
Rotowire
Saric (knee) finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes Thursday in the Warriors' 100-92 win over the Trail Blazers.
Saric made his first appearance since March 20 after missing each of Golden State's previous seven games with right knee lateral joint pain. He checked into the game with 5:35 remaining in the second quarter and played the rest of the half, but Saric wasn't summoned from the bench at any point in the second half. Saric will likely drop out of the rotation if Draymond Green (knee) is able to return for the second leg of the Warriors' back-to-back set Friday versus the Pelicans.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Saric (knee) won't play Tuesday against Dallas.

Rotowire
Saric (knee) won't play Sunday against the Spurs.
Saric will miss his second game in a row Sunday due to right knee lateral joint line pain. Even before the injury cropped up, Saric hadn't been a part of head coach Steve Kerr's rotation, so his absence won't open up any extra minutes in the Golden State frontcourt.

Warriors' Dario Saric: Muted role again Saturday
Rotowire
Saric accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Saturday's 126-113 loss to the Spurs.
Saric played just three minutes in the loss, continuing his recent struggles. He has played fewer than six minutes in three of the past four games, to the point where he cannot be considered an every-night part of the rotation. Subsequently, he can be avoided in all fantasy formats for the time being.

Warriors' Dario Saric: Used sparingly in victory
Rotowire
Saric produced two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in six minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over the Raptors.
Saric barely saw the floor in the win, logging just six minutes. He has failed to play more than 15 minutes in nine of the past 10 games, producing very little in terms of fantasy value. At this stage, even those in deeper formats should be looking for a player with a clearer path to minutes.

Warriors' Dario Saric: Barely plays Monday
Rotowire
Saric (illness) logged four minutes and finished with three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one steal in Monday's 109-98 win over the Nets.
In his return from a two-game absence due to the illness, Saric played the first 4:29 of the second quarter but didn't check back into the game as the Warriors relied on starters Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green and reserves Kevon Looney and Gui Santos as their primary frontcourt options. Though he could eventually poach Santos' playing time and/or supplant Looney as Green's top backup, Saric's minutes ceiling still looks to be limited given that the Warriors are expected to get Andrew Wiggins (ankle) back in action soon.
