[Benedetto] The Nuggets have applied for a disabled player exception (DPE) for Vlatko Cancar ahead of the Jan. 15 deadline, multiple sources tell me. I’m told there’s no plan to use it.
The Nuggets have applied for a disabled player exception (DPE) for Vlatko Cancar ahead of the Jan. 15 deadline, multiple sources tell me. I'm told there's no plan to use it. The DPE is only worth 1/2 of the injured player's salary, which is ~$1.1 million in this case.

>The DPE doesn’t create an additional roster spot, and Denver already has 15 players under contract. Only way I see the DPE coming into play is if the Nuggets made a trade that opens up a roster spot. Even then, there’s not a ton of money to give a free agent/buy-out candidate.
Use it to buy Jokic another horse
