Top Christian Braun News

  • 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.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Working out at practice

    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

    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 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: Won't return vs Clippers

    Braun (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

    Braun suffered an ankle injury during the contest and unsuccessfully attempted to play through the issue before heading back to the locker room. He's now been ruled out the rest of the way, which should open up more opportunities for Spencer Jones, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Minnesota.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Questionable to return

    Braun is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle injury.

    Braun tweaked his ankle earlier in the game and attempted to play through the injury. However, he seemingly wasn't able to shake the injury and is now questionable to return. Braun tallied six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 16 minutes before exiting the game the second time.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Modest start continues

    Braun produced 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 victory over the Kings.

    Braun's modest start to the season continued Monday, having now scored more than 12 points only three times in the first 10 games. Despite having a consistent role, it's been tough sledding for Braun, averaging just 11.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 30.9 minutes per game. The current roster construction limits his overall upside, making it tough to consider him a must-roster player.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Pours in 21 points

    Braun notched 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 130-124 win over the Kings.

    Braun eclipsed 20 points for the second time this campaign and produced arguably his best game of the young season. He's still waiting to find his rhythm from beyond the arc. During the 2024-25 regular season, Braun knocked down 1.1 triples per game at a 39.7 percent clip. But through the opening six games, he's hitting just 0.5 attempts per game at a 21.4 percent mark.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Pops for 20 against Phoenix

    Braun chipped in 20 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 133-111 win over the Suns.

    After being held to six points in the Nuggets' opener Thursday, Braun roared back with a much sturdier performance. The fourth-year guard took a big step forward in 2024-25, but Denver is counting on further growth from him as a key part of the supporting cast behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
