Top Christian Braun News

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Out again Tuesday

    Braun (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

    Braun hasn't taken the court since Jan. 9 while on the mend from a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will arrive Thursday in Washington.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Sitting again Sunday

    Braun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

    Braun is still on the mend from a left ankle sprain and will miss his fifth straight matchup. The fact that he hasn't yet been upgraded to either questionable or doubtful ahead of a game is likely a sign that he's not close to a return, though the team has yet to provide a firm timetable on when he may be cleared to take the court.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Won't suit up Saturday

    Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Another absence coming

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Listed out for Tuesday

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

    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 swingman has suffered a setback, considering he missed 23 games with the sprain earlier this season. Tim Hardaway is worth streaming in shallow leagues Tuesday, while Bruce Brown appears to be an option in deeper settings.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Downgraded to questionable

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Not playing Sunday

    Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Probable to play Sunday

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

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

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: 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.

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

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Available Friday

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Expects to play Friday

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

    Braun logged 30 minutes in just his second game 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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Cleared to face Boston

    Braun (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Probable for Wednesday

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Questionable with ankle sprain

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Will rest Monday

    Braun is out for Monday against the 76ers due to left ankle injury maintenance.

    After an extended absence due to a left ankle sprain, Braun made his first appearance since Nov. 12 in Sunday's loss to 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 a back-to-back set as a precaution, however. Expect Braun to return to action Wednesday in Boston.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: 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.

    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 regular-season games.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Returning and starting Sunday

    Braun (ankle) is available and in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Nets on Sunday.

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Questionable for Sunday

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

    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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Could return during road trip

    Nuggets head coach David Adelman said Saturday that Braun (ankle) could return at some point during the back end of the team's ongoing seven-game road trip, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

    Braun hasn't played since Nov. 12 due to a significant left ankle sprain, but he joined the Nuggets on the road trip and was able to complete a pregame workout prior to Saturday's 127-126 loss in Orlando, per Winge. The fourth-year wing will remain out for Monday's game in Miami and is unlikely to be available for Wednesday's game in Toronto, but based on Adelman's comments, a return in the first week of January would appear to be a realistic outcome.
