Vlatko Cancar worried all basketball fans after he had to leave the court with the help of his teammates due to an injury.
Friendly games always carry with them the risk of injuries, and this time the Denver Nuggets basketball player had that accident. There were only a little less than four minutes left until the end of the game.
Cancar dunked and after that landed awkwardly, and immediately grabbed his knee. It was clear that he would not be able to continue the match, and with the help of his teammates he went to the locker room. Fortunately for Slovenia and Denver, the first information is good. As his teammate, Jordan Morgan, pointed out, the intial tests were positive.
“We’re hopeful that’s it positive. We’ll see. The only thing that will tell is the MRI. From what I understood, the initial tests were positive. So, we’ll see. We’re all hopeful because he’s a very important piece for this team“, Morgan said to BasketNews.
Cancar finished the game wih 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Slovenia lost the game against Greece 77-88. He won a championship ring with Denver the previous season, and recorded 60 appearances in the NBA season behind us.
