Christian Braun Ruled Out for Sunday's Game vs. Bucks with Ankle Injury

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks. He was initially downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day, indicating the severity of the ankle issue. With Braun and Jamal Murray (ankle/illness) both sidelined, Jalen Pickett, Bruce Brown, and Tim Hardaway are expected to see increased roles and are top candidates to enter the starting lineup. Braun's next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Pelicans.
