Christian Braun Returns from Ankle Sprain Under Minutes Restriction

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun has been cleared to return for Sunday's game against the Nets after a 23-game absence due to a significant left ankle sprain. Coach David Adelman confirmed Braun will operate under minutes restrictions. The Nuggets had been hopeful for his return, especially with Nikola Jokic sidelined. Braun averaged 11.4 points in 11 games before his injury, and his return brings needed depth to the Denver Nuggets rotation.
