Denver Nuggets players and staff have provided updates regarding roster changes and player health ahead of the upcoming NBA season.

Guard Christian Braun addressed previous offseason criticism and concerns regarding his health following a season impacted by ankle and calf injuries. Braun stated that being ‘written off’ serves as motivation and reported during media day that he feels ‘great with no restrictions’ after working through injury-related stiffness and swelling over the summer.

Additionally, the team highlighted the development of Cam Whitmore, a wing signed to a two-way contract. Head coach David Adelman described Whitmore as highly athletic, noting the player must ‘simplify himself’ to reach his potential while learning from veteran leaders such as Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray.
