On Monday, it was announced that former Jayhawk Christian Braun had reached an agreement to extend his contract with the Denver Nuggets. The deal is reportedly worth $125 million over five years ($25 million per year).
Braun is currently on his four-year rookie contract worth 13.7 million ($3.4 million per year). His new deal will take effect after the 2025-26 NBA season, which tips off on Tuesday night, October 21.
Braun arrived in Denver after being selected by the Nuggets with the 21st overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Denver knew it had a "win-now" prospect but still took time with his development.
