Report: Dario Saric picks up his player option with the Denver Nuggets for next season – Denver Stiffs
Per Marc Stein, Denver Nuggets forward Dario Saric is activating his $5.4 million player option for next season. This was expected – Dario Saric has had rumors that multiple teams are interested in his services in Euroleague basketball next year, but none of those teams were going to pay him $5.4 million. The contract was unfortunately a waste of the Taxpayer mid-level exception last year as Saric barely played at all even though DaRon Holmes was lost for the season with his Achilles injury and the Nuggets could still not find minutes for Saric.
Denver is unlikely to retain Saric for next season, but it’s possible that new head coach David Adelman has a different plan for him than former coach Michael Malone, who only found 210 minutes for the power forward despite Aaron Gordon’s season-long calf injury and the lack of other backup options at both power forward and center. If they do not keep Saric, it’s just a matter of whether they can use his salary in trade (for a team that can then buy him out of a portion of that contract which he can make up in Europe) or if Denver is simply going to buy him out themselves.
The hope would be for them to be able to save $2 million or so off the price of the option with that buyout, which would give them enough to add a veteran on a league-minimum contract to replace him, but whether or not Denver or another team does that Saric has guaranteed himself the payday that Calvin Booth promised him when giving him the player option in the first place.

The Denver Summit, the newest soccer team in the National Women’s Soccer League, will play its inaugural home opener at Empower Field at Mile High in March, the team announced on Monday.
The team, which was only just named this past July, will play at the home of the Denver Broncos until its temporary stadium and then its permanent stadium are completed. Earlier this year, Denver NWSL announced plans for a new 14,500-seat stadium near Interstate 25 and Broadway that’s expected to open in 2028.
“This will be an unforgettable moment for our club, our players, our city and our fans,” Denver Summit FC President Jen Millet said in a statement on Monday. “We’re honored to play our first home match and host ‘The Kickoff’ in such an iconic stadium. We’re grateful to the community for the incredible support to help us reach this moment.”
The team’s ownership group, which progressively grew over the summer, includes Peyton Manning, Mikaela Shiffrin, Mellody Hobson, Molly Coors, and Rob Cohen.
“We are honored to support Denver Summit FC for their inaugural match at Empower Field at Mile High,” said Broncos President Damani Leech. “This venue has hosted many memorable moments in Colorado sports history, and we look forward to working together to bring a best-in-class experience for Summit FC fans.”
While the opposing team hasn’t yet been announced, tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, Nov. 12 and can be purchased at www.denversummitfc.com.
