Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook posted the 200th triple-double of his career on Tuesday night in a win over Memphis

1 DAY AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Double-doubles in loss Sunday Saric provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Saric has been starting in the absence of Nikola Jokic (personal). While it's unthinkable to imagine Saric replicating the numbers of the three-time MVP winner, he's also far from being a liability on either end of the court. As long as he remains in a starting role, Saric should continue to have a decent upside as a streaming option in most formats.

Starting Friday Saric is in the Nuggets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Despite being a healthy DNP over the Nuggets' last five games, Saric will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Friday due to Nikola Jokic (personal) being sidelined. Saric should see some more playing time with both Jokic and Aaron Gordon (calf) not playing.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Held scoreless 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.

Impact Three games into the season, it's been evidently clear that Saric is going to have a limited role at best for Denver. He's averaging 9.0 minutes per contest and has a total of two points to his name thus far.

Signs with Nuggets Saric has signed a two-year, $10.6 million deal with the Nuggets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Saric will add some depth in the frontcourt for the Nuggets, but he's likely to play off the bench most of the time. He 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.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Triple-double versus Slovenia 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.

Impact Saric is currently an unrestricted free agent, and his play against Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. The 30-year-old proved his worth as a passer and rebounder, as well as his ability to play either position down low for whatever club he goes to next. Saric averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 17.2 minutes with the Warriors last season.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Saric (knee) is available Friday against New Orleans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Saric hasn't been much of a factor within Golden State's rotation of late, but he'll be active if needed. He's appeared in one game since March 20.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with knee pain Saric (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to right knee lateral joint pain.

Impact Saric made his first appearance since March 20 on Thursday, playing six minutes during a win over Portland. He'll likely be available for the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set, but Saric isn't guaranteed playing time.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Gets six minutes in return 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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Portland Saric (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Portland.

Impact Saric has been sidelined since March 20, but the veteran forward could potentially see a handful of minutes with Draymond Green resting a minor knee issue.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Now expected to play Thursday Saric (knee) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Saric has been upgraded from questionable to probable Thursday despite dealing with right knee lateral joint line pain. With Draymond Green (knee) out, Saric could receive increased playing time against Portland.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Saric (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Impact Saric hasn't played since March 20 as he continues to deal with right knee soreness. If the 29-year-old forward is ruled out, it won't impact Golden State's rotation.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Saric (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Saric hasn't played since March 20 and hasn't seen double-digit minutes since March 3. His continued absence shouldn't impact the rotation, as Trayce Jackson-Davis has cemented himself as the top center on Golden State's roster over the last two months.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Jazz Saric (knee) will not play against the Jazz on Sunday.

Impact Saric will miss his sixth game in a row Sunday, and the Warriors continue to rule him out a day in advance which isn't a great sign.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Friday Saric (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Saric's absence streak will extend to five games Friday while dealing with a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Utah.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Saric (knee) isn't listed on Golden State's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Saric missed three straight games due to a knee injury but is cleared to play Thursday. However, the veteran has been an inconsistent part of the Warriors' rotation after the emergence of Trayce Jackson-Davis.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Saric will miss his third straight matchup due to a right knee injury, but his continued absence shouldn't be of much concern given he's on the outside of the rotation looking in. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to suit up will arrive Thursday in Houston.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Saric (knee) will not play Sunday against the Spurs.

Impact Saric will miss his second game in a row Sunday, and it's not a good sign if he's getting ruled out a day in advance. Prior to this injury, Saric was on the outskirts of the rotation.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Charlotte Saric (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Saric has been downgraded from questionable to out while dealing with right knee soreness. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Saric is questionable for Friday's game in Charlotte due to right knee soreness.

Impact Saric is a negligible part of the Warriors' rotation, so whether he's cleared for Friday's game won't make much of an impact in fantasy hoops. Check back for another update following Friday's shootaround.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role again Saturday Saric accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Saturday's 126-113 loss to the Spurs.

Impact 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.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly in victory 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Barely plays Monday 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Will suit up Monday Saric (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact As expected, Saric has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a two-game absence. With Andrew Wiggins (ankle) likely out, there may be extra minutes in the frontcourt available, but Saric has played 20 minutes or fewer in four straight appearances (two starts).
