Christian Braun Probable for Nuggets’ Game with Pelicans on December 22nd Despite Back Strain
Christian Braun of the Denver Nuggets is dealing with a low back strain. Despite this injury, he is expected to play in the upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans on December 22nd. This follows recent uncertainty about his ability to play due to his back issues.
What It Means
Braun has been an important player for the Nuggets, contributing an average of 15 points per game this season. His shooting percentage stands at a solid 56.4%, and he has been effective from beyond the arc, hitting 40.6% of his three-point attempts.
If Braun can play against the Pelicans, it will be beneficial for the Nuggets as they rely on him heavily in their rotation. Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett are other options at shooting guard if needed, but Braun’s presence would strengthen their lineup significantly.
