Christian Braun News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Won't suit up Saturday Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Braun missed 23 consecutive games from mid-November to early January due to a sprained left ankle before returning to action Jan. 4. He appeared in three outings after the extended absence, though he struggled during his time on the court and is now set to miss a fourth straight game. It's unclear whether the 24-year-old swingman has suffered a setback, though his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Charlotte.

Another absence coming Braun is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a sprained left ankle.

Impact Considering Braun has now been ruled out for three straight games after previously missing nearly two months with the sprain, it's becoming fair to wonder if the swingman has suffered a setback. With Bruce Brown (knee) iffy for Wednesday, Tim Hardaway appears to be locked into significant minutes off the bench.

Listed out for Tuesday Braun is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact The Nuggets deemed Braun probable to play Sunday against the Bucks, but the team ended up ruling him out for that contest. It's unclear if the forward has suffered a setback, considering he missed 23 games with the sprain earlier this year. Tim Hardaway is worth streaming in shallow leagues Tuesday, while Bruce Brown appears to be an option in deeper settings.

Not playing Sunday Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The writing was on the wall for Braun sitting Sunday after he downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day. With Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) also sidelined, Jalen Pickett, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway figure to be the top picks to enter Denver's starting lineup against Milwaukee. Braun's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Downgrades to questionable Braun (ankle) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The change in injury designation isn't a great sign for Braun, especially as the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff approaches. Bruce Brown, Jalen Pickett and Tim Hardaway would be the top candidates to enter the Nuggets' starting lineup if Braun is unable to play.

Probable to play Sunday Braun is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Braun didn't score a single point in the loss to the Hawks on Friday, and while he's probable to suit up Sunday, the tag suggests he's likely to play. Braun has had a rough return to the lineup since coming back from an ankle problem three games ago, averaging just 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game during that span.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Woeful in loss Braun closed with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 25 minutes during Friday's 110-87 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Braun continued to struggle, failing to score despite playing 25 minutes. In three games since returning from injury, it's been tough going for Braun, averaging just 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 26.2 minutes per game. While he will almost certainly be ebtter than this, it's hard to make a case for him as a must-roster player, outside of deeper leagues.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Braun (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Braun will shed his probable tag and make his third appearance following a 23-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. The 24-year-old shooting guard has averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game over his last two outings.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Expects to play Friday Braun is listed as probable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Braun logged 30 minutes in just his second games since Nov. 12, so his name on the injury report appears to be cautionary considering he's fresh off an ankle injury. The team should have official word on his availability closer to tipoff.

Cleared to face Boston Braun (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Braun missed the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, but he'll be back in action Wednesday. The guard will once again be under a minutes restriction. He played 24 minutes Sunday.

Probable for Wednesday Braun (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact The Nuggets are expected to get reinforcements back in the lineup after Braun, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray and Tim Hardaway were held out for maintenance Monday against the 76ers. Braun will be looking to bounce back after a dud in Sunday's loss to the Nets.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with ankle sprain Braun is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Braun recently returned from nearly a two-month absence with the injury, and the Nuggets are continuing to monitor his health. If Braun doesn't gain clearance for action, Bruce Brown and Spencer Jones would be in line for an expanded role, especially with Tim Hardaway is also iffy for Wednesday due to an illness.

Brown's goaltended layup in OT lifts short-handed Nuggets over 76ers 125-124

Bruce Brown scores 19 points, including the winning bucket in overtime, to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 125-124 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night

Will rest Monday Braun will be rested Monday against the 76ers.

Impact Braun made his first appearance since Nov. 12 in Sunday's win over the Nets, finishing with three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes. The Nuggets will hold him out for the second leg of this back-to-back set as a precaution, however. With that in mind, guys like Jalen Pickett, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther could be more involved Monday.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Muted effort in return Braun (ankle) accumulated three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Sunday was Braun's first appearance since the Nov. 12 win over the Clippers, and he exhibited signs of rust in his return to the floor. Fantasy managers can expect the 2022 first-rounder's minutes to creep back towards the 30s once he becomes further removed from his sprained left ankle. On the campaign, Braun has averaged 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.2 minutes per contest through 12 games.

Cleared to return Sunday Braun (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Braun has progressed enough in his recovery from a significant left ankle sprain to return following a 23-game absence. Per Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today, Nuggets had coach David Adelman told reporters that Braun and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) would both operate under minutes restrictions in their returns, though it remains to be seen whether either of them would be in the starting lineup or come off the bench Sunday.

Questionable for Sunday Braun (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Braun hasn't played since Nov. 12 due to a significant left ankle sprain, but he is traveling with the Nuggets on their road trip and is due to return in the near future. With Sunday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, the Nuggets may be hoping he can suit up for one of these two games.
