There's no timetable for surgery as of yet, per the same report.

Cancar suffered a severe injury in a FIBA World Cup 2023 preparation game vs. Greece.

With 3:37 left in the fourth quarter, Cancar made an incredible dunk but landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed his knee. He left the court with the help of his teammates and went into a locker room straight away.

Cancar spent 21 minutes on the floor, finishing the game with 4 points (2/5 2PT), 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 EFF.

Last season, he became an NBA champion with Denver after averaging 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 60 regular-season games.
