The Nuggets got some great injury news on Saturday as Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun were both upgraded to questionable on the injury report for Sunday’s game in Brooklyn. Fans were rejoicing, and rightfully so; this is awesome news, but people shouldn’t assume these guys will slot right back into the lineup immediately.
The upgrades from out to questionable are huge, but it’s not a guarantee they’ll play on Sunday. Even if they don’t, they are clearly very close to a return, and even if it means waiting one or two more games, given all this team has been through, they can survive that.
