Christian Braun has agreed to a $125 million, five-year contract extension with the Denver Nuggets. His agent confirmed the deal on Monday. The 24-year-old moved into the starting lineup last season and averaged 15.4 points. Known for his high-energy defense and hustle, he fits seamlessly alongside stars like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Braun was the 21st pick in 2022 and helped the Nuggets to their first NBA championship during his rookie season. The Nuggets are among the favorites this season, having made several roster changes, including trading Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson.
