Kansas Jayhawks fans eagerly await Game 7 between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder to watch Christian Braun. Meanwhile, two former KU players, Johnny Furphy (New York Knicks) and Kevin McCullar (Indiana Pacers), face off in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Both rookies had limited roles this season, with Furphy playing in 50 games compared to McCullar’s four. Furphy, selected 35th in the 2024 NBA Draft, made his playoff debut for Indiana but has seen minimal action. Neither player is expected to significantly impact the series, yet their participation highlights KU's professional representation. The excitement grows as fans imagine a potential matchup with Braun and the Nuggets in the NBA Finals.
