Although Jordan Morgan wanted to be optimistic after the meeting, we feared the worst for the left knee of Vlatko Cancar. The MRI has delivered its verdict, and unfortunately the Slovenia winger tore his anterior cruciate ligament on Friday night, and according to the denver postno date was given for his operation.
In the game against Greece, the Nuggets winger was injured after a huge dunk, landing badly. Immediately Cancar held his knee, and he joined the locker room helped by his teammates.
It’s a blow for the player since he could miss the whole coming season, and his last year of contract is not guaranteed. For Slovenia, it is also a blow in anticipation of the World Cup.
