Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun are both carrying questionable designations heading into Sunday’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets, leaving Denver’s lineup status uncertain once again.
Gordon has not appeared in a game since November 21 as he continues to recover from a hamstring strain.
In his absence, the Nuggets have managed an 11-8 record, but his impact has been noticeable this season, as he has contributed 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest when available.
Braun has also been sidelined for an extended stretch, missing time since November 12 and logging only 11 appearances so far this year, limiting Denver’s backcourt depth.
The injury situation worsened earlier in the week when Denver lost both Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas.
Jokic is expected to be out for a minimum of four weeks after suffering a hyperextension in his left knee, while Valanciunas is dealing with a calf injury, further straining the Nuggets as they navigate a challenging stretch of the schedule.
