The Denver Nuggets may finally receive some much-required boost amid their awful luck with injuries. Ahead of Sunday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets, the Nuggets upgraded the status of Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun. The two stars have been on the sidelines for over a month, and there is a chance that they might return on Sunday.
Exceptional performances from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray
Gordon has been on the sidelines for six months because of a right hamstring strain. Braun has been on the sidelines for seven weeks due to a left ankle sprain. Denver managed to combat two starters' absence because of outstanding performances from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Nuggets' injury issues
Once Jokic became injured, the Nuggets' frustration to have some boost to ease the load off of Murray's shoulder spiked. While there is no sign of an early comeback of Jokic, the return of Gordon and Braun would be a huge relief for Denver and revitalize the team.
Latest update on Jamal Murray
Jamal Murray himself is facing a nagging injury, but managed to play every game. The Nuggets placed him as probable on the injury report after Sunday's practice session, as the Canadian point Guard nurses a left ankle sprain.
Other ruled out players
Nikola Jokic, Cam Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas are already on the sidelines. Jokic is recovering from a left knee bone bruise, Johnson is on the sidelines with a right knee bone bruise and Valanciunas is out because of a right calf strain.
