2 days agoNuggets' Braun (ankle) to miss at least 6 weeks
Christian Braun will be re-evaluated in six weeks after sustaining a left ankle sprain suffered when James Harden stepped on his right foot.
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun has agreed to a five-year, $125 million rookie contract extension with the franchise, agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball told ESPN on Monday. Braun, the No. 21 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, has been a developmental find and success for the Nuggets brass. The Nuggets' top executives, Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace, made it a priority to negotiate a new long-term deal to lock in Braun as part of the franchise's core moving forward.
