Nuggets' Christian Braun: Officially in
Braun (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Expected to play vs. Grizzlies
Braun is probable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.
Braun also carried a probable designation leading up to Monday's game against the Cavs and was ultimately able to suit up, so he'll presumably have a good chance to take the court Wednesday in his team's final game before the All-Star break. Braun is averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in four showings since returning from a 12-game absence due to the ankle injury.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Logs second-highest total of season
Braun amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-117 loss to Cleveland.
Braun got his stat line to acceptable levels after struggling through his first three appearances following a 12-game absence. He's showing no ill effects from the ankle injury that sidelined him, and Monday's effort was a positive indicator that he'll return to his usual level of production heading into the All-Star break.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Cleared to face Bulls
Braun (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago.
Braun was previously considered probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. He has played in two games since returning from a 12-game absence, playing 26 and 43 minutes, respectively. He's shot 2-for-6 from the field in both outings.

The swingman has made just five appearances during the new year amid a disappointing 2025-26 campaign, averaging 4.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.5 minutes per tilt while shooting a paltry 26.9 percent from the field during this period.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Good to go vs. New York
Braun (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Braun returned Tuesday against the Nuggets from a 12-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and finished with six points and two assists in 26 minutes. Even with Wednesday's game being the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Nuggets feel confident enough in Braun to give the fourth-year pro the green light to play against New York.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Probable for Wednesday
Braun (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
Braun logged 26 minutes as a starter in his return from a lengthy layoff during Tuesday's loss to the Pistons, and it looks like he'll be available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Braun is averaging 9.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Limited production in return
Braun (ankle) posted six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists in 26 minutes Tuesday in the Nuggets' 124-121 loss to the Pistons.
Back in action after missing the Nuggets' previous 12 contests due to a left ankle sprain, Braun stepped back into the starting five and handled a healthy minutes load, but he struggled to deliver much in the way of useful production. At least until the Nuggets get both of Cameron Johnson (knee) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) back from injury, Braun should have a good chance at holding down a regular starting role, but he may not be in line for much of an uptick in playing time while he's struggled to find his shooting touch this season. After converting on at least 35 percent of his attempts from three-point range in each of his first three NBA campaigns, Braun has shot just 7-for-34 (20.6 percent) from downtown through his first 15 appearances of 2025-26.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Available Tuesday
Braun (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Braun will shed his questionable tag and return from a 12-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. However, it wouldn't be surprising if the fourth-year wing operates under a minutes restriction after the extended absence. Braun appeared in just three games in January, during which he averaged 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 26.3 minutes per game following a 23-game absence due to the same ankle injury.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Iffy for Tuesday
Braun (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
Braun hasn't seen the court since Jan. 9 while on the mend from a left ankle sprain, but this questionable designation signals that he's closing in on a return. The Nuggets previously reported that Braun is expected to return before the All-Star break, so even if he isn't cleared to go Tuesday, he'll likely be on the court within the next week or so.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Officially out
Braun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Braun will miss a 12th consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Braun appears to be nearing a return, however, considering he wasn't ruled out until just before tipoff. Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther are likely to continue to see increased roles in Braun's absence Sunday, and the latter's next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Pistons.
