Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon were listed as questionable against the Thunder as early as Thursday night.
As expected, Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones were listed out as well.
Beyond the early additions, the Nuggets have now added Cam Johnson and Christian Braun to the list.
Johnson, who has battled right ankle issues lately, is going to continue managing his setback with a potential night off. He is questionable to face the Thunder.
As for Braun, he has two different designations. The veteran guard has a left ankle injury and a right hip flexor strain. His status is listed as questionable as well.
This season, Johnson has appeared in 54 games for the Nuggets. He is averaging 12.2 points per game, while shooting 43.0% from beyond the arc. He is also coming down with 3.8 rebounds per game and producing 2.4 assists per game.
The 2025-2026 NBA season marks Johnson’s first with the Nuggets. He started his career with the Phoenix Suns. That run would last four years. Johnson then played three years with the Brooklyn Nets. They traded him to Denver in the offseason.
Braun is in the midst of his fourth year with the Nuggets. This year, he has 44 games under his belt. Braun is producing 12.0 points per game, while shooting 51.9% from the field. He is also coming down with 4.8 rebounds and producing 2.7 assists per game.

The OKC Thunder don’t have anything to play for at this time.
Earlier this week, the Thunder secured the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. That locked the San Antonio Spurs at No. 2. With the playoffs approaching, the Thunder are playing it safe.
OKC’s injury report includes Alex Caruso, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Joe, Ajay Mitchell, Thomas Sorber, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, and Jaylin Williams.
The Thunder and the Nuggets are scheduled for a 9 PM ET tip.
