Justin Holiday’s rise continues. Called him my training camp MVP last week in San Diego, and now he’s starting Denver’s preseason opener at small forward with Michael Porter Jr. and Christian Braun out. Holiday has been a standout at Nuggets practices. He’s fit in seamlessly. – 10:03 PM

“Damn.”
Nuggets assistant David Adelman’s reaction to Phoenix Suns sitting Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal for Tuesday’s preseason game.
He said earlier Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Christian Braun (calf) questionable.

Jamal Murray and Christian Braun were both limited at practice today, Michael Malone said. Murray was dealing with a hamstring, Malone said last week at training camp, but it wasn’t serious. Braun’s calf is bothering him, I’m told. – 3:54 PM

Asked Michael Malone about Christian Braun and what makes him a rotation lock this year:
“Watching him all summer long in this gym, the improvements in the jump shot, the improvements in the ball handling, and what was really noticeable for me…was a confidence and swagger in… pic.twitter.com/4OPv0jh6rP – 4:20 PM

The most punchable face in the NBA hits back. “I think there’s always a couple of people that don’t think you can step into that role,” Christian Braun, the Nuggets’ second-year swingman, offered up earlier this week. “But I always end up rising to that occasion.” -via Denver Post / July 24, 2023
How would you rate the NBA championship celebration for Christian Braun? Gradey Dick: The best! CB is my guy. I was with him the other weekend. Nobody celebrates quite like him. You saw it. He’s one of those all-time competitors and a Rock Chalk dude. He told me to just take it all in while going through this process. He and Ochai Agbaji told me to expect how sped up everything is in the pre-draft process. They said those raw emotions were going to come out and to enjoy them. -via For The Win / July 19, 2023
