The partnership between Dario Saric and the Denver Nuggets hasn’t gone as planned for either side.
The Croatian big man chose Denver over reigning EuroLeague champion Panathinaikos last July in free agency, jumping at the opportunity to contribute to an NBA title contender with two other Balkan players in the locker room, including star center Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets were confident they had solved a never-ending existential crisis in their rotation by adding a versatile big who could back up Jokic or play the four alongside him.
They signed Saric to a two-year, $10.
