Bruce Brown News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Questionable to return Tuesday Brown is questionable for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus Minnesota due to a right ankle sprain, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Brown recorded just one assist in three minutes before exiting Tuesday's game. Ish Smith, Christian Braun and Bones Hyland are all candidates to receive extended minutes if he's unable to return.

Remains with starters Brown will remain in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Timberwolves, according to Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports.

Impact Brown will be joined by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. Brown is quietly putting together a career-best fantasy campaign with his ability to contribute across the stat sheet.

Solid line as fill-in starter Brown registered 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 128-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact With Jamal Murray (knee) and three other regular starters getting the night off for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Brown stepped in as the point guard on the top unit. Because the game quickly devolved into a blowout, Brown didn't see any spike in playing time compared to his season average of 28.7 minutes per contest, but he was still able to deliver a fantasy-friendly line thanks to his elevated usage. Murray, Nikola Jokic (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (ankle) should be back in action Tuesday against the Timberwolves, but Brown could be the top choice to remain in the starting five if Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) -- the only regular starter who appeared to be out Sunday with a legitimate injury rather than for maintenance purposes -- isn't available for the rematch with Minnesota.

Starting Sunday Brown will start Sunday against the Timberwolves with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) unavailable, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Brown should see some increased playmaking opportunities with Jamal Murray (rest) and Nikola Jokic (rest) also unavailable, so he could be someone to think about in daily fantasy leagues. Through 20 starts this season, Brown has averaged 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 dimes, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest.

Set for bench role Saturday Brown will move to the bench for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact This isn't a surprising change, as the Nuggets' regulars are all back following what was essentially a full bench crew in the starting five Wednesday in the second game of a back-to-back set. Jamal Murray will retake his spot as the team's starting point guard, while Brown could see a slight drop-off in his minutes.

Available Saturday Brown (knee) is good to go for Saturday's game in Philadelphia.

Impact Brown was given a questionable designation heading into the day, but it looks like that issue is not too serious. Barring any setbacks with his knee, look for him to take on his usual workload.

Questionable at Philly Brown is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers due to left knee inflammation.

Impact Brown has seen increased minutes lately as the Nuggets dealt with absences, so it's possible the extra workload caused a knee issue. If he takes Saturday's game off, coach Michael Malone may hand out bigger roles to Christian Braun, Vlatko Cancar and Jeff Green.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Brown racked up 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 107-99 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Brown didn't have his best shooting performance, but he ended two rebounds away from recording a double-double. He's been starting of late, finding himself in the first unit in each of Denver's last three games, but he's finding ways to deliver even when he comes off the bench. The former Miami standout has scored in double digits in seven consecutive games.
