Christian Braun

Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman said that Christian Braun is not expected to return until after Christmas.

Fantasy Impact

Braun last played on November 12 after suffering a left ankle sprain and is expected to remain sidelined for at least two more weeks. While he is out, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Jones are expected to continue seeing increased minutes.

Christian Braun will be re-evaluated in six weeks after suffering a left ankle sprain during Wednesday’s win over the Clippers, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Fantasy Impact

With Braun facing an extended absence, Tim Hardaway should see increased opportunities after replacing him in the second half Wednesday, while Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther are also candidates for additional minutes.

Christian Braun left Wednesday’s game against the Clippers early with an ankle injury.

Braun and Cam Johnson (arm) both exited the game in the first half. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Jones would take on bigger roles if they miss time.

Christian Braun scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3P, 2-2 FT) with a rebound, assist, and a steal in the Nuggets' 122-108 win over the Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Braun was a bit quiet in this one, a recurring theme this season. He's struggled to get much going consistently and has regressed from where he was last year, but could certainly switch that around at any moment.

Christian Braun scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-9 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in Monday night's 130-124 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Braun played a big role in Denver's win over the Kings on Monday, scoring 21 points on 70% shooting from the field. Fantasy managers should be well pleased with this performance from the 24-year old and he will remain a must-start fantasy asset moving forward.
