In a groundbreaking move that reinforces both loyalty and legacy, Devin Booker has agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum extension with the Phoenix Suns, extending his stay through the 2029-30 NBA season. The deal, confirmed by CAA representatives Jessica Holtz and Melvin Booker, marks the highest annual salary ever awarded in an NBA extension underscoring Booker’s status as one of the league’s premier talents.
Booker and Suns owner Mat Ishbia met in Las Vegas on Wednesday night to finalize the terms, locking in the franchise cornerstone for the foreseeable future. This agreement not only secures Phoenix’s on-court leader but also aligns with the franchise’s long-term vision of championship contention.
Drafted 13th overall in 2015, Booker has spent his entire 10-season NBA career in Phoenix. This latest deal marks his third contract extension each reinforcing his commitment to the city and its fanbase. Both publicly and behind closed doors, Booker has remained steadfast in his goal: to bring a title to the Suns.
A four-time NBA All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection, Booker also boasts two Olympic gold medals with Team USA. His 2023-24 season saw him cement his place in franchise history as the all-time leading scorer. He averaged 25.6 points, a career-high 7.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game, showcasing a continued evolution in his offensive repertoire.
Booker led the Suns to the 2021 NBA Finals where they fell in six games to the Milwaukee Bucks and reached the semifinals the following year. His resume, consistent production, and loyalty make this extension a landmark moment not just for Phoenix, but for the NBA as a whole.
With this record-setting contract, the Suns are doubling down on a future built around one of the league’s most prolific scorers. For fans and bettors alike, Devin Booker remains the heart of a franchise determined to chase glory.
