Kings' Dario Saric: Traded to Sacramento
The Nuggets traded Saric to the Kings on Tuesday in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Sacramento needed some depth at forward after losing Jake LaRavia in free agency, but this move is likely just to reduce salary for the 2025-26 season. The Kings will become Saric's seventh NBA team, as he has become quite the journeyman. He was used sparingly in Denver during the 2024-25 season, appearing in 16 regular-season contests with averages of 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.1 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Minimal impact in 2024-25 season
Saric finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 three-pointers made across 13.1 minutes per game in 16 regular-season outings (four starts).
Saric was used sparingly this season, making only two appearances after the All-Star break. The 31-year-old big man averaged career-low marks in points, rebounds and minutes while being buried behind Nikola Jokic, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan on the depth chart. Saric holds a player option for the 2025-26 campaign and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Solid outing off bench
Saric recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), five assists and four boards in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets.
With Nikola Jokic (elbow) sidelined, Saric put together a well-rounded performance, matching his season-high assist total while he was at it. Since DeAndre Jordan, who got the spot start, struggled, there's a chance Saric could get the shoulder-tap if Jokic continues to miss time. His next opportunity to prove his worth comes Friday against the Heat.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Goes scoreless in spot start
Saric provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes in Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics.
With Nikola Jokic (illness) sitting out, Saric moved into his spot in the starting five in what was his first game action since Nov. 23. Saric had previously missed some time in December with a sprained ankle, but the 30-year-old wasn't viewed as a rotation player by that point in the season, with DeAndre Jordan having taking control of the backup center job. Moving forward, Saric's opportunities are likely going to be limited to games in which Jokic is out, as Saric is more capable of replicating Jokic's passing and floor-spacing ability than the other reserve centers on the roster (Jordan, Zeke Nnaji and PJ Hall). If Jokic is able to move past the illness ahead of Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Saric will likely move from the starting lineup to back outside of the rotation.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Starting sans Jokic
Saric will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
The 30-year-old center will enter the starting five with Nikola Jokic (illness) sidelined for Tuesday's marquee matchup. Saric hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Nov. 23, and he has averaged 3.4 points and 3.5 rebounds across 13.6 minutes per game in 10 regular-season appearances (three starts).

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Cleared Monday

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Probable against Suns
Saric (ankle) is probable against the Suns on Monday.
Saric was available to play Sunday against the Pelicans, but he never saw the floor after a lengthy injury absence. He last appeared in a game Nov. 23. If he suits up Monday, he'll likely have a limited role at best.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Available Sunday against NOLA
Saric (ankle) is available to play against the Pelicans on Sunday.
Saric has missed the Nuggets' last 10 games, partially due to a left ankle sprain. He was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, but he will be available off Denver's bench, though he's unlikely to see much playing time behind Nikola Jokic, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji.

Nuggets' Dario Saric: Doubtful to play Sunday
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
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
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: Iffy for Saturday vs. Washington
Saric is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards with a left ankle sprain.
Saric has been out of the rotation for the Nuggets' last five games, so he might have injured his ankle at some point during a recent practice. In any case, Saric's potential absence Saturday won't open up extra minutes for any of the Nuggets' other big men.
