Vlatko Čančar to Undergo Meniscus Surgery and Miss Several Months

The new knee injury continues a run of recurring problems that have sharply limited the Slovenian forward’s availability and leaves San Pablo Burgos short-handed for its EuroCup campaign.

Overview

Eurohoops reported that Čančar suffered a meniscus tear that will require surgery and is expected to sideline him for several months, a report later picked up by Hoops Rumors.
Čančar signed with Spain’s San Pablo Burgos this year and the club will be without him for its near-term roster as he recovers from the operation.
Since October 2023 the 29-year-old has appeared in just 21 games across all competitions, a sharp drop in playing time driven by repeated injuries.
His recent medical history includes 2022 leg and wrist fractures, an ACL tear in August 2023 that cost him the 2023–24 season, and a further knee procedure in December 2024 that limited his time with Armani Milan to two games.
The latest surgery not only threatens Čančar’s hopes of a sustained comeback but also forces Burgos to adjust rotation and depth for the EuroCup, with possible roster moves or minutes reshuffling likely while he recovers.
