Nuggets vs. Bulls Injury Report Revealed
USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Chicago Bulls in their third preseason game, and it will be a home game for the defending champions. While preseason injury reports are always subject to change, ESPN's official injury report for Denver only has Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., and Vlatko Cancar listed.

Cancar is of course out for an extended period of time with a torn ACL, but Porter Jr. and Braun are considered day-to-day. It's Porter's ankle that has kept him out of preseason action, and for Braun it's his calf that has been causing issues. Neither player is expected to miss extended time with these two injuries, so their returns will be something to keep an eye on.

As for Chicago, their injury report is almost entirely clean, with Lonzo Ball being the inly player listed. Ball is not expected to play for a while, so his status will remain unchanged. Outside of him, Chicago does not have any other injuries to report for this preseason game.

As previously mentioned, it's important to note that preseason injury reports are always subject to change up until game time. Just because a team does not have players listed for injuries does not mean they will not decide to rest shortly before the game begins. That could certainly happen for players like Nikola Jokic and others, but as of right now Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., Vlatko Cancar, and Lonzo Ball are the only players with listed injuries between Chicago and Denver.
