The Phoenix Suns have agreed a two-year contract extension with franchise shooting guard Devin Booker worth an extra $145 million that will now have his deal run through the 2029-30 season, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Booker signed a supermax extension in 2022 for four years, the second of which will be for next season at $53 million. He is now under contract for five more seasons.
The 28-year-old became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer last season, and despite a turbulent last two years that severely failed to meet expectations with team success, Phoenix’s new direction this summer includes Booker in the long-term future.
Owner Mat Ishbia has been on the record about no desire to trade Booker during the remodel that has included trading Kevin Durant, hiring new general manager Brian Gregory and bringing in new head coach Jordan Ott. With the Suns’ limited assets and young talent, they have spent the offseason attempting to bolster the latter, all in an attempt to build a young core to go around Booker to attempt contending again within a few years.

Booker himself has been a part of those missed expectations as well. After leading the Suns to the NBA Finals in 2021 and going on a historic 11-game flurry in the 2023 postseason, Booker has underwhelmed to his standing of being a borderline top-10 player in the NBA. While he was an All-Star and made Third Team All-NBA two seasons ago, neither of those accomplishments were met this past year.
Booker in the 2024-25 season shot 46.1% from the field and averaged 25.6 points per game, his lowest field goal percentage in seven years and a slight dip in his PPG as well. While it was not to the normal standard and his defense also regressed after showing great progress in those playoff runs, Booker did play 75 games, the most he has since his second season. Despite two uninspiring seasons for both his team and himself, Booker is still immensely respected and looked at as one of the best players in the game when he has it all clicking.
This upcoming year will be Booker’s 11th with the Suns after being drafted 13th overall in 2015. His 16,452 career points sit at the top of the franchise leaderboard, and if he sees out most of if not all of that contract, he will top a few more statistical categories. He is 225 games behind Alvan Adams (988), 4,054 minutes behind Adams (27,203) and 748 field goals behind Walter Davis (6,497).
