Overview
- Denver’s Jan. 3 injury report lists Aaron Gordon (right hamstring) and Christian Braun (left ankle) as questionable for Sunday’s game in Brooklyn.
- Nikola Jokic (left knee bone bruise), Cameron Johnson (right knee bone bruise) and Jonas Valanciunas (right calf strain) are out, and Jamal Murray (left ankle sprain) is probable.
- Gordon has been sidelined since Nov. 21 and Braun since Nov. 12, making this their first notable status upgrade in weeks.
- Their possible returns could ease a thin rotation that has leaned on Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones, with coach David Adelman praising the group’s adaptability.
- The Nuggets visit the Nets at Barclays Center on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET, with local broadcasts on Altitude 2 and YES Network and streaming on NBA League Pass and Fubo.
