Vlatko Cancar is on the verge of leaving the Denver Nuggets to return to Europe, with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan emerging as the frontrunner, sources tell BasketNews. The 28-year-old Slovenian forward is in advanced talks for a move.
NBA Legacy and Recent Stats
Cancar, part of Denver’s 2023 NBA championship team, played 143 NBA games, averaging 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.7 minutes. Last season, he appeared in 13 games, posting 1.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11 minutes.
Milan’s Strategic Acquisition
At 2.01 m, Cancar’s versatility and EuroBasket 2022 stats (11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds) make him a valuable addition for Milan. His experience alongside Luka Doncic could elevate the team’s EuroLeague campaign, filling a key forward role.
