The Denver Nuggets will be without Christian Braun in their match against the Chicago Bulls
The Denver Nuggets have updated their injury report for Thursday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls, and key guard Christian Braun has officially been ruled out. Star point guard Jamal Murray remains a playing-time decision for Denver, so his status has yet to be officially confirmed.
With Bruce Brown leaving in free agency, this is a big offseason for Christian Braun. Playing in the NBA Finals rotation as a rookie, Braun showed promise last season as a solid player. The Nuggets will need him to build on that and take a step forward this season if they want to replicate what their depth was able to do last season.
While the high-end talents of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray would compete with any duo in the league, Denver’s dominance last season was greatly aided by their tight, well-rounded lineup. best in the tournament. Receiving regular contributions in the lineup along with Jokic’s dominance, the Nuggets reached their full potential a year ago. To start over, the Nuggets will need Braun to make up for some of the production they lost with Brown’s departure.
Looking to be healthy at the start of the season, Braun and the Nuggets are taking a cautious approach in the preseason after a short summer.
