The Nuggets let Christian Brown return too early
Mi-November, Christian Brown suffered a sprained left ankle, which would keep him out of action for six weeks. Besides thatupon returnin early January, he struggled to be efficient and productive (2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds, 21% shooting and over 26 minutes), forcing Nuggets to send him back to the infirmary after three small meetings.
It’s been ten days since the bums got back there and, for David Adelmanit was just the best thing.
« I see him training and working hard, but he just can’t do everything his body is supposed to be able to do yet. » explained coach from Denverthis weekend. ” So I feel it’s fairer, both for us and for him, to come back when he’s really ready to play. And not just moving back and forth on the field. »
Already without Nikola Jokic, Cam Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas, the Nuggets therefore do not want to take any chances with another important element of their rotation. Even if the main interested person tends to return as soon as possible and ” help your teammates », when he is on the sidelines.
« He’s tough, so it’s not surprising to see him come back so quickly from such an injury » confided David Adelman. ” And I think we have to do what’s best for him. I think this is a discussion we all need to have together. It doesn’t matter what he tells us. I understand that 100%. This guy loves to play, he loves basketball and above all he loves to win. »
Christian Brown was always ready to make sacrifices for the team extended with a premium last summer and, inevitably, its leaders prefer to avoid a relapse. Especially since Tim Hardaway Jr. is the perfect interim manager when he is not there.
