Christian Braun on contract extension: ‘Really excited for the way it went down’

Christian Braun probably won’t have a career as an agent after he’s done playing basketball.

“Negotiations are kind of maybe not my thing,” he said Tuesday at Ball Arena, 24 hours after he signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Nuggets. “Kind of felt like you’re kind of against them for a little bit. But I think it worked out really, really well. I was really, really happy with the outcome. I’m very grateful for everybody involved.”

Braun, 24, is suddenly under contract through 2031, longer than anyone on Denver’s roster as the 2025-26 season nears.
