Former Kansas guard and 2022 NCAA champion Christian Braun is getting paid.

The Denver Nuggets and Braun have agreed to a five-year, $125 million rookie contract extension, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday. Braun’s agent, Bill Duffy of WME Basketball, confirmed the deal to ESPN.

A standout at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park before winning a national title with the Jayhawks, Braun was selected 21st overall by Denver in the 2022 NBA Draft. He initially signed a four-year, $13.8 million rookie contract that included team options for the final two seasons.

Nuggets executives Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace prioritized securing Braun’s long-term future with the franchise, Charania reported.

Braun has steadily developed since helping the Nuggets capture their first NBA championship in 2023, when he became just the fifth player in history to win NCAA and NBA titles in consecutive years.

While his rookie numbers were modest — 4.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game — Braun’s energy and defense made him a valuable spark off the bench. He took a major step forward this past season, averaging 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 58% from the field and 39.7% from three-point range.

Known for his intensity and emotion both at Kansas and in Denver, Braun has become a fan favorite for his toughness and confidence. His new contract cements him as a key part of the Nuggets’ core alongside Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray.

The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Kansas’ Nov. 1 home game against Oklahoma State will kick off at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN+, while Kansas State’s Harley Day contest against Texas Tech that same day remains under a six-day television selection.

Kansas’ matchup with Oklahoma State will highlight the Jayhawks’ 113th Homecoming celebration. The Jayhawks have won their last three Homecoming games, including victories over No. 6 Oklahoma in 2023, Iowa State in 2022 and Houston in Kansas City in 2024. Kansas first hosted Homecoming in 1912 and holds a 47-60-5 all-time record in those games.

The meeting with Oklahoma State marks the 75th all-time between the programs and the 40th in Lawrence. The Cowboys lead the series 41-30-3, including a 19-14-2 advantage in games played at KU.

Kansas (3-1 at home this season) has home wins over Fresno State, Wagner and West Virginia, and will face Kansas State in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown on Oct. 25 before hosting the Cowboys. The Nov. 1 contest will be KU’s second afternoon start and second appearance on ESPN+ this season.

Meanwhile, Kansas State’s Nov. 1 matchup against Texas Tech in Manhattan will have its game time and broadcast announced later this week after being held for a six-day selection by the Big 12 and its television partners.

The Wildcats have dominated the recent series, winning the last eight meetings and 12 of the past 13 overall. K-State defeated Texas Tech, 38-21, in Lubbock in 2023, while earning a 37-28 victory in the last matchup in Manhattan in 2022.

Tickets for K-State’s Harley Day game can be purchased at <a href="http://www.kstatesports.com/tickets">kstatesports.com/tickets</a> or by calling 1-800-221-CATS.

Kansas State (5-2) travels to Lawrence this Saturday for the Dillons Sunflower Showdown, which kicks off at 11 a.m. and will air on TNT, with simulcasts on truTV and HBO Max.

🎧🏈 Blue Dragon Rewind: No. 1 HutchCC vs. Independence

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs so thoroughly dominated the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday that they probably didn't need Rashee Rice, who had come back from a torn ACL and a six-game suspension to give them yet another dynamic weapon.

The rest of the season? Well, the Chiefs think Rice may be the last piece they need to chase another championship.

“We have a lot of weapons. We have a lot of guys and they all love each other, and they want each other to succeed,” said quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns — two of them to Rice — in a 31-0 victory so lopsided that the two-time league MVP got to spend the entire fourth quarter watching it from the bench.

“We want to be better than what we are now,” Mahomes said, “but this was a good step in the right direction.”

Rice finished with seven catches for 42 yards in his first game&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-rashee-rice-9475202aa5efade7b9a9be140e2c798c">since Week 4 last season,</a>&nbsp;when he tore up his knee in a collision with Mahomes. Rice made it back from the injury in time to participate in the offseason and training camp, then was suspended before the start of the season for his role in a high-speed car crash on a Dallas highway in March 2024.

Rice's return sparked an offense that scored on its first five possessions against Las Vegas and finished with 434 yards in all.

“I think it's a glimpse of what's possible,” Rice said, “and what's to come.”

It didn't help ailing Las Vegas to play most of the game&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-raiders-kansas-city-chiefs-36d67adf45a07ee045b9e377dae23b07">without star pass rusher Maxx Crosby</a>, who left late in the first half with a knee injury. The Raiders also lost defensive tackle Adam Butler to a back injury during the game.

The Chiefs (4-3) were nearly as good on defense, though, holding the Raiders to three first downs and 96 yards while beating them for the 10th time in the last 11 matchups. Geno Smith finished 10 of 16 for 67 yards, while Ashton Jeanty, one of the NFL's top rookies, carried just six times for 21 yards.

It was the fourth and most lopsided shutout by Kansas City in its 133-game history against the Raiders.

“This was a game I didn't see coming,” Raiders coach Pete Carroll said. “We prepared really well. We were tuned in. I couldn't imagine the guys that weren't able to play in this game would have been that much of a factor.”

In truth, the Chiefs had started to hum the past couple of weeks, including in&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-analysis-5ebcfaffabfb346389fc4fe5bd53e019">a 30-17 rout of the Lions</a>&nbsp;last week. And with Rice, it looked like the high-flying attack that Mahomes made famous with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill so many years ago.

Rice had a pair of catches on their opening drive, including a 2-yard touchdown reception to finish off the 92-yard march. He had two more on the next drive, an 84-yard trek that Marquise Brown finished with a TD catch. And Rice capped the Chiefs' big first half with a 3-yard touchdown reception with 10 seconds left to make it 21-0 at the break.

“I think you saw the trust that Pat has in him,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid. “The energy he brings is infectious.”

The lopsided nature of the first half was staggering.

The Chiefs had a 21-2 advantage in first downs. They had a 275-51 edge in yards, and that includes six meaningless yards that Jeanty gained on the final run of the half. And the Chiefs became the first team since at least 2000 to start a game with three TD drives of at least 80 yards, allowing them to consume nearly 21 minutes of the first half.

Oh, and the Chiefs got to receive the second-half kickoff.

They proceeded to march 65 yards for another touchdown, this time with Isiah Pacheco doing the honors on the ground to finish it off. And after another three-and-out by the Raiders, a 66-yard march produced a field goal that made it 31-0.

Mahomes and several starters took a seat by the end of the third quarter, allowing Gardner Minshew to finish the rout.

“Very seldom do you have a fourth quarter where you don't throw the ball. It doesn't happen very often,” Reid said.

The only question remaining was whether the Raiders would make it back across midfield again. They made it for two offensive plays on the first drive of the game, when a holding call on Jackson Powers-Johnson led to them eventually punting.

“They're a terrific team,” Carroll said. “They did everything like they do. And the played really well in all phases, and they kept us totally at bay. We couldn't make a first down and couldn't get off the field. They just did like they do.”

Las Vegas: WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) and TE Brock Bowers (knee) were inactive. Crosby and Butler only added to the problems.

Kansas City: LT Josh Simmons was inactive due to personal reasons. LG Trey Smith left with a back injury, DT Omar-Norman Lott hurt his knee and RT Jawaan Taylor banged up his shoulder.

The Raiders are off next week before facing Jacksonville on Nov. 2.

The Chiefs play Washington next Monday night.

🏐 Dragons earn KJCCC sweep of T-Birds

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Back at Gowans Stadium for the first time in 35 days, the Hutchinson Community College football team wasted no time putting on a show for the home crowd Saturday afternoon, scoring in nearly every possible way to extend its winning streak to 10 games for just the seventh time in program history.

Kordell Gouldsby dazzled with two punt-return touchdowns, and Derrick Salley Jr. hauled in three more scoring grabs as the No. 1-ranked Blue Dragons dominated Independence, 71-12. The win tied the fourth-longest streak in program history and marked Hutchinson’s fifth straight victory over the Pirates.

Hutchinson (6-0, 2-0 KJCCC) has now scored at least 70 points twice this season — the 19th time in program history — and improved to 61-24-5 all-time against Independence, including 35-10-2 at Gowans Stadium. The Dragons will host No. 12 Coffeyville next Saturday at 7 p.m.

Gouldsby, who entered the night with three career return touchdowns, doubled that total with 34- and 56-yard punt returns for scores. He totaled 118 return yards and 161 all-purpose yards, also adding two catches for 37 yards. Gouldsby became the first Blue Dragon to return two punts for touchdowns in a game since Tre Richardson in 2023.

Salley continued his historic season with touchdown catches of 1, 5 and 45 yards — giving him 12 on the year and tying Lonnie Crittenden (1970) and Cordarrelle Patterson (2011) for the second-most single-season touchdown receptions in program history. He finished with four receptions for 63 yards.

Quarterback Christian Johnson was sharp, completing 9 of 12 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns. Backup Hudson Ferralez threw for 99 yards and added two short rushing scores, helping the Dragons put up 415 total yards.

The defense turned in one of its most dominant outings of the season, recording 10 sacks — tied for the third-most in school history and the most since 2019. J’Lynn Allen led the way with a career-best three. The Dragons also forced five takeaways, with interceptions by DaMun Allen, Amir Hill, and Earl Parker.

Hutchinson’s ground game controlled the tempo, outgaining the Pirates 200-29 on the ground. Daeshawn Carter led the team with 50 yards and a touchdown, while Lekedrin Harvey added 49 yards and a score.

Special teams continued to shine. Hill blocked a punt — Hutchinson’s seventh blocked kick of the season — and Alejandro de la Poza booted field goals of 31, 41, and 26 yards while going 8 of 9 on PATs to finish with 17 points.

The Dragons built a 17-0 first-quarter lead, stretched it to 37-0 by halftime, and never looked back, leading 58-6 after three quarters.

Head coach Drew Dallas notched his 55th career win on the Hutchinson sideline. The victory also ended the Dragons’ streak of 11 consecutive quarters without allowing a touchdown, one of several statistical milestones in another dominant performance for the defending national champions.

🎧🏈 LISTEN LIVE: No. 1 HutchCC vs. Independence

NEWTON, Kan.&nbsp; — The Hutchinson Salthawks dug deep Friday night, rallying from a two-touchdown halftime deficit to edge the winless Newton Railers 15-14 at Fischer Field in Newton.

Newton (0-7) controlled the game early, scoring twice in the first half and taking a 14-0 lead into the locker room. Hutchinson’s offense struggled to find rhythm until midway through the third quarter, when quarterback Robert Hunter led a scoring drive capped by quarterback keeper for&nbsp; a 8 yard touchdown run. A blocked extra point left the Salthawks trailing 14-6.

Momentum shifted moments later when Hutchinson’s special teams pinned Newton deep at its own 6-yard line. On the next play, the Salthawk defense broke through for a safety with 3:32 remaining in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 14-8.

Hutchinson (5-2) capitalized on the momentum, putting together a four-play, 46-yard drive capped by a 26-yard touchdown pass from Hunter to Lamar Govain with 1:14 left in the quarter. Zae Gillen’s extra point gave the Salthawks their first lead of the night, 15-14.

Newton had two late chances to reclaim the lead, but both field goal attempts missed the mark — a 35-yarder midway through the fourth quarter and a 25-yarder in the final 44 seconds. Hutchinson took over on downs and ran out the clock to seal the comeback victory.

With the win, Hutchinson improved to 5-2 and remains in contention for a good seed in the Class 5A West bracket. The Salthawks will close out the regular season next week at home against Maize South, while Newton travels to Arkansas City.

A Hutchinson win next week could secure a first-round home game when the 5A playoffs begin on Oct. 31.
