Back in action Sunday Cancar (foot) finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes in Sunday's 146-141 overtime loss to the Lakers. Impact Suiting up for the first time since Jan. 3, Cancar was expected to have a minute restriction in his return from right foot surgery, but any playing-time limit wasn't evident in his workload during the regular-season finale. In fact, the 24 minutes were Cancar's most in any of his 15 appearances on the season. Cancar likely won't approach that level of run during the playoffs, if he's even a part of head coach Michael Malone's rotation at all. The Nuggets were resting several key players Sunday -- including MVP candidate Nikola Jokic -- which opened up more playing time for everyone that suited up.
