With Braun sidelined, the Nuggets will likely turn to Bruce Brown to fill the starting spot. Brown does a lot of the same things as Braun, minus some key offensive aspects, but he is a player who is willing to do the dirty work and play high-level defense.

Denver Nuggets forward Christian Braun will be re-evaluated in six weeks with a left ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday night's win over the LA Clippers, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
