It was announced yesterday that the Denver Nuggets would be without Christian Braun for at least the next six weeks due to an ankle injury. He suffered the injury against the Los Angeles Clippers and was in serious pain.
The Nuggets are holding him out for a while now, and that will change their rotation significantly. Braun has rarely missed time in his career, and while he didn’t start the season perfectly, the Nuggets will miss his perimeter defense, athleticism, and connection with Nikola Jokic in the starting lineup.
How will his loss impact things in the short term for Denver?
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, live from Number 38 in RiNo, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the left ankle sprain suffered by Christian Braun that will hold him out for at least six weeks. He discusses ramifications for the Nuggets rotation and previews tonight’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Pickaxe and Roll is the flagship Denver Nuggets show on Mile High Sports, posting every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (unless otherwise specified). Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Nuggets in detail, bringing news, analytics, rotations, and more into a show for hardcore Nuggets fans.
