Devin Booker Nears $150M Suns Contract Extension

News summary

Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns' all-time leading scorer, is expected to sign a record-breaking two-year, $150 million contract extension that will keep him with the team through at least the 2029-30 season. This extension, starting July 6, 2025, would make Booker's annual salary $75 million, the highest in NBA history, signaling the Suns' commitment to building around him as their franchise cornerstone. Booker played a key role in the Suns' recent coaching search, endorsing Jordan Ott as the new head coach, and the team is planning significant roster changes, likely moving on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Despite the Suns missing the playoffs with a 36–46 record last season, Booker's consistent performance—averaging 25.6 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds—remains central to the team's future plans. The extension also provides Phoenix with salary cap flexibility while affirming Booker as the team's untouchable star amid a rebuilding phase. This move highlights the Suns' long-term vision to reshape the roster around Booker and Ott’s offensive system.
