Nuggets' Christian Braun: Struggles in preseason win
Braun finished with two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 23 minutes during Sunday's 133-128 preseason win over Chicago.
Braun struggled to find his shooting touch but contributed defensively, recording three combined steals and blocks while avoiding turnovers. The 25-year-old guard started alongside Denver's projected first unit, and his ability to contribute across multiple categories should help offset occasional poor shooting performances during the regular season.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Wants to increase shot volume
Braun said Monday that increasing both his three-point volume and efficiency was his biggest developmental focus during the offseason, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.
"Shoot more. Make more. Don't hesitate to shoot, just let it go," Braun said. The 25-year-old connected on just 30.1 percent of his three-pointers across 44 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 after shooting 39.7 percent from deep the previous season. A return to form from beyond the arc would help Braun provide more reliable floor spacing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Locked in as starter
Braun appears cemented as a starter for the Nuggets in 2026-27 after Peyton Watson was traded to Cleveland.
Despite playing a career-low 44 regular-season games, Braun was a full-time starter last year and should be locked into a similar role this season. The swingman is searching for a bounce-back campaign, closing last regular season with averages of 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 31.8 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Struggles in season-ending loss
Braun posted three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and three blocks in 28 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Braun scored in single digits for the fourth straight game, closing out what was an underwhelming end to a disappointing season. Despite having homecourt advantage, Denver simply couldn't match Minnesota's intensity. Injuries limited Braun to just 50 appearances across the season (including playoffs), during which he averaged 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Held in check during loss
Braun ended Saturday's 112-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.
Braun only took four shot attempts in the loss, ceding most of the backcourt output to Jamal Murray in the Game 4 defeat. Now facing an elimination game, the Nuggets desperately need more production from the supporting cast, and Braun could be set up for an easier task with Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (knee) shelved.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Underwhelms in Game 3 loss
Braun racked up two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After a relatively strong start to the series, Braun came up empty Thursday, contributing to what was an ugly loss on the road. After winning the first game at home, Denver has now lost back-to-back games, handing Minnesota the upper hand. Game 4 will take place in Minnesota on Saturday, when Braun may need to increase his production if Denver hopes to avoid a 3-1 deficit.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Falls short of double-double
Braun logged 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Braun logged 36 minutes in Game 1, finishing behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who were out there for 39 and 40, respectively. While the 25-year-old went 4-for-10 from the field, he missed only one of his three tries from deep while falling two rebounds shy of a double-double. Braun averaged 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 20.0 percent from behind the three-point line in two meetings with the Timberwolves during the regular season. He will look to increase his statistical contributions when these clubs meet Monday night for Game 2.
