Nuggets' Christian Braun: Working out at practice
Christian Braun (ankle) was spotted doing some training off to the side during Saturday's practice, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.Braun still hasn't been cleared for on-court activities, but it's promising to see that he's making progress toward a return. It was reported in mid-November that he would be re-evaluated in six weeks, so he's likely just a few weeks away from another concrete update from the team.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Out at least six weeks
Christian Braun is scheduled to be re-evaluated in six weeks after suffering a left ankle sprain during Wednesday's 130-116 win over the Clippers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.The Denver Nuggets haven't provided official word on the severity of Braun's injury, but he's seemingly dealing with something more significant than a Grade 1 sprain and will be in line for a lengthy absence. Given that Braun is unlikely to be immediately cleared for game action even once he's re-evaluated, fantasy managers should brace for his absence to extend into the new year. Tim Hardaway started the second half of Wednesday's game after Braun exited the contest and should see a boost in playing time during Braun's absence, while Julian Strawther and Spencer Jones could also carve out more consistent roles in the rotation. Through the first 11 games of the season, Braun had taken a big step back statistically from his career-best 2024-25 campaign, averaging 11.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 79.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Quiet showing in loss
Christian Braun recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to Golden State.This was a very quiet game by Braun's standards, but his fantasy managers can chalk this up to an off night. Braun saw a ton of minutes in this one, but he took a back seat on offense while Aaron Gordon erupted for 50 points. During the 2024-25 regular season, Braun was a top-60 player in nine-category leagues for his ability to chip in across the board.
