Denver could see Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun return to the court Sunday in Brooklyn

Aaron Gordon missed 19 games with a right hamstring strain. Christian Braun missed 23 games with a sprained ankle.

Both were upgraded to arguable and could return to court Sunday in Brooklyn.

Announcement

Denver could use the help with four starters out. Nikola Jokic will be out for weeks with a knee hyperextension, the same injury that sidelined Cam Johnson. The return of Gordon and Braun would bring much-needed depth to the rotation.

Gordon was in the midst of a strong season, averaging 18.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game before his injury. Braun averaged 11.4 points in 11 games but struggled with his jumper.
