Denver Nuggets guard/forward Spencer Jones (ankle) and guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will remain in the lineup on Wednesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. Jones and Brown were both listed on Denver's injury report -- Jones as probable and Brown as questionable. In Tuesday's win over New Orleans, they had similar workloads: Jones started and played 23 minutes, while Brown logged 24 minutes off the bench. Neither offers much fantasy upside at this time.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Friday's encounter with the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran swingman is ready to play despite dealing with inflammation in his right knee. Brown had a busy night as a starter on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, but he will come off the bench on Friday night, limiting his fantasy appeal.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent forward Bruce Brown Jr. agreed to a one-year deal with the Denver Nuggets. The veteran has bounced around the league since entering the National Basketball Association in 2018. Yet, arguably his best season was when he was with the Nuggets, helping the club capture an NBA championship in 2023. Brown most recently suited up for the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging only 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds. Now that he is back in the Mile High City, his statistical contributions should increase, considering he could see plenty of minutes for a team that has lacked depth in the last few seasons.

New Orleans Pelicans forwardBruce Brown(rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown will be sidelined for the second half of back-to-back games to rest after posting 12 points, two assists and one rebound across 35 minutes on Sunday against the Pistons. With Brown out, Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with seven Pelicans players unavailable this evening.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Bruce Brown (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Pelicans have decided to take the cautious approach and give Brown a rest day during the front end of this back-to-back set. Honestly, Brown hasn't been much of a fantasy option lately, so his absence shouldn't be a huge problem for fantasy managers. Jamal Cain will likely see more run in the rotation, but he's not a recommended streaming option right now.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forwardBruce Brown (rest)won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Brown will have the evening off to rest during the first half of back-to-back games against the Suns. He has played in five games since joining the Pelicans via trade from the Raptors recently. The 28-year-old seems to be taking on a larger role with his new club as he posted eight points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals across 29 minutes in a 109-103 overtime win over the Spurs on Tuesday. With Brown on the shelf, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could undoubtedly see an uptick in minutes during Thursday's contest.

The Toronto Raptors have traded guard/forward Bruce Brown to the New Orleans Pelicans. Brown, an NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets in 2023, was shipped out alongside Kelly Olynyk and a couple of draft picks for former All-Star Brandon Ingram. Toronto picked up Brown only 13 months ago from the Indiana Pacers. He ended up playing just 52 games for the team, missing the first couple of months in 2024-25 with a knee injury. Brown has averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in the current campaign. A move to New Orleans might boost his numbers, as the Pelicans have battled injuries throughout the season. Brown is on a $23 million expiring contract.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (face) will play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. After being hit in the face during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Bruce did not practice on Monday and entered Tuesday with a questionable designation. However, he has been cleared for action. With RJ Barrett (concussion) unavailable, Brown could see a few extra shifts in the rotation. The veteran is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes this season.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (face) has been labeled as questionable for Tuesday's clash against the New York Knicks. Brown was hit in the nose in Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers and wasn't feeling well enough on Monday to practice. Ja'Kobe Walter stands to benefit from Brown's absence on Tuesday. The 20-year-old rookie has regained some momentum in recent games, scoring double-digit points in back-to-back outings. However, with Toronto's big guns all healthy, Walter is not someone fantasy managers can count on.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be active against Detroit on Saturday. Brown missed Thursday's matchup against Cleveland for knee injury management purposes, but Toronto has not listed him on the injury report entering Saturday. Brown made his season debut only a couple of weeks ago and has averaged 5.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in five appearances. For once, the Raptors are fully healthy on Saturday, so fantasy managers should overlook Brown because his role on the team is limited.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will not play on Thursday against Cleveland. After playing in each of the last three games, Brown will sit out Thursday's action for knee management purposes. The 28-year-old has appeared in only five games this season, providing 5.4 points in 18.0 minutes, so he won't be a significant miss for the team. Rookie Ja'Kobe Walter might pick up some additional work on Thursday, but he has been quiet recently after the Raptors got their key players back from injury.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Nets, his former team. The 28-year-old missed time to begin the 2024-25 campaign after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. As a result, the team will play it safe by resting him on the second night of back-to-back contests. With that said, Brown has averaged only 9.0 points in 19.5 minutes in two games this season, so he hasn't drawn much attention on the fantasy end. However, he could see a bump in minutes moving forward. There's also a chance Brown will be traded. Either way, his ceiling may rise at some point this season, meaning fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress. With Immanuel Quickley (elbow), Gradey Dick (hamstring), and RJ Barrett (illness) questionable, one of those players could fill the void left by Brown's absence. But if none of them are available on Wednesday, Ja'Kobe Walter (finger) and Ochai Agbaji should benefit.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran began last season with the Pacers before being traded to the Raptors ahead of the deadline. He wasn't productive in Toronto in 2023-24, averaging only 9.6 points. If Brown is back, it will be his first game of the season. While that could mean he'll see limited minutes, he's worth monitoring for fantasy purposes in case he returns to form at some point moving ahead.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks, so his season debut remains on hold. The team has listed him with return to competition reconditioning, and there isn't a firm timetable for his return yet. He last played in the regular season finale last year. Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell, and Gradey Dick will continue to play extra minutes until Brown is able to get back on the court.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is still working his way back from having knee surgery last year. The team hasn't given a timetable for Brown's return, but the hope is that he's back sooner rather than later. The Raptors will likely use a committee approach to fill the void. That means, Gradey Dick, Davion Mitchell, and Ochai Agbaji could all absorb more playing time. Out of the trio, Dick has the highest upside and could be worth a look in deep leagues.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. He remains without a return date. The 28-year-old is coming off arthroscopic knee surgery. Fortunately, he's recently been practicing somewhat, so he is moving in the right direction. Brown is coming off a down year, averaging 9.6 points in 34 games with the Raptors in 2023-24. He'll likely need time to ramp up once he's cleared to return. But with RJ Barrett (shoulder) and Kelly Olynyk (back) also out for the opener, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and Gradey Dick should be Toronto's top producers on the offensive end.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) is set to miss the beginning of the NBA pre-season after undergoing an arthroscopic knee surgery this week. The veteran do-it-all role player won't be re-evaluated for another three weeks, but it doesn't seem like he's supposed to miss significant time. Brown was reportedly dealing with knee issues for a couple of months after he was traded to the Raptors in the deal that sent Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers. The Raptors begin training camp on October 1, and the team is hopeful that he'll be back on the court before the end of pre-season in time for their first game on October 23. Brown averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game across 34 appearances for Toronto last year.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown will stick with the organization after they've accepted his $23 million player option for the 2024 season. It's a little odd to see the Raptors bringing back Brown considering he was average at best during his time in Toronto last season. On a one-year deal, Brown should be a valuable trade asset if the Raptors decide to move him in the offseason or mid-season. His stats did decline in Toronto, but he should still have some fantasy value regardless of where he's playing.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Toronto Raptors are expected to pick up the team option of guard/forward Bruce Brown. The 27-year-old won an NBA championship with the Nuggets in 2022-23. However, after signing with the Indiana Pacers, he was dealt to Toronto ahead of the 2023-24 trade deadline. He appeared in 34 games for the Raptors, although his statistical contributions declined, averaging 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. Nonetheless, the Raptors could end up trading him at some point during the 2024-25 campaign, potentially increasing his production.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown could be on the move again soon after splitting 2023-24 between Indiana and Toronto. According to Doug Smith of The Toronto Star, the Raptors will likely pick up a $23 million option on Bruce's contract and trade him before the 2025 deadline. There should be no storage of takers for a versatile player like Brown, who has proven himself at the highest level by winning the NBA championship with Denver last season. He moved to Indiana as a free agent a year ago but was traded to Toronto in the Pascal Siakam deal in January. Bruce averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes during the season.
