The Denver Nuggets are off to a stellar start, having gone 10-2 through their first 12 games of the 2025-26 NBA season. 

They sit behind only the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the current Western Conference standings, and have won seven consecutive games.

Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) on X Injury Report ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Bulls: PROBABLE:  Nikola Jokić (Left Wrist Sprain) QUESTIONABLE:  Cam Johnson (Right Biceps Strain) Julian Strawther (Low Back Pain) OUT: Christian Braun (Left Ankle Sprain) #MileHighBasketball

Tonight they take on the Chicago Bulls (6-6), and will aim to keep that winning streak alive. Several of Denver’s players have designations heading into the Nuggets’ matchup, however, per the NBA’s latest official injury report.

Two of Denver’s typical starters, Cameron Johnson (Right Biceps Strain) and Christian Braun (Left Ankle Sprain), did not play in the Nuggets’ most recent game against Minnesota on Nov. 15 and are listed as questionable to play and out, respectively, for tonight’s contest. Julian Strawther (Lower Back Pain) is also listed as questionable to play.

Nikola Jokić (Left Wrist Sprain), who was listed as questionable heading into the matchup against Minnesota but ultimately ended up playing, is listed as probable to play tonight. He has yet to miss a game this season, and represents a larger theme of reliable availability that has defined the Nuggets’ campaign thus far.

Besides Braun’s more long-term ankle injury and Johnson’s bicep issue, the only other significant injuries that have kept Denver’s players out of the lineup have been Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon’s. Even then, though, Murray and Gordon only missed one game – the Nuggets’ matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Nov. 8 – due to those calf and hamstring injuries, respectively. 

Chicago's Injuries 

Several of Chicago’s players are listed on the most recent injury report as well. 

Zach Collins (Left Scaphoid Fracture), who has yet to play this season due to a surgery he had last month, and Coby White (Right Calf Strain/Return to Competition Management), who played yesterday but is still under a minutes restriction, are both out for tonight’s matchup. 

Other players on the report include Tre Jones (Left Angle Impingement), who has been listed as doubtful to play, and Ayo Dosunmu (Left Hamstring Tightness), who has been listed as probable. 

Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) on X Update 😌

Chicago will look to get back on track in this matchup, as after starting the season 6-1, they have gone 0-5 since. Unfortunately for the Bulls, what they likely see as an opportunity for a get-right game happens to be against a juggernaut in the Nuggets, who don’t appear to be slowing down any time soon, even if Denver’s players on the injury report don’t end up in the rotation.

Tonight’s tip-off is set for 9 p.m. EST in Denver.
