- Russell expects the Nuggets to be in trouble after losing Bruce Brown
The Indiana Pacers made a significant move in the NBA free agency by agreeing to a 2-year, $45 million deal with Bruce Brown. But this move had a major impact on the Nuggets, as they lost a key piece from their championship roster.
Brown was a significant factor in the Nuggets’ success during their championship-winning season, showcasing his versatility and skills on both ends of the court.
D’Angelo Russell, the Los Angeles Lakers guard, believes that the Denver Nuggets will feel the impact of losing Bruce Brown. Throughout the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Nuggets, Brown and Russell engaged in a back-and-forth battle.
Despite the rivalry brewing between the two teams, Russell acknowledged Brown’s importance to the Nuggets and his ability to make a difference on the court. Brown’s contributions as a consistent shooter, ball handler, and defender made him a valuable asset to the Nuggets.
Brown averaged 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game and played a massive role against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. In a recent episode of ‘The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone‘, Russell talked about the importance of Brown to the Nuggets:
“Losing Bruce Brown hurt them, losing Bruce Brown hurt them though.”
“Bruce Brown is like unpredictable bro. He could go 3-of-5 from the 3, play point guard, get you in the bonus, shoot 10-12 free throws. He’s just a problem, I think. I think any team that wants and appreciates him, he’s only going to get better, respect.”
The loss of Brown leaves a void in the Nuggets’ roster, but they are still considered early favorites heading into the upcoming season as defending champions. It remains to be seen how the Nuggets will adjust to Brown’s absence and whether someone can step up to fill the gap. (32:44)
