The Phoenix Suns and Dillon Brooks have agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension running through the 2029-30 NBA season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The deal was confirmed by Mike George of Klutch Sports and keeps the nine-year veteran in Phoenix long-term.
Brooks joined the Suns for the 2025-26 season after two years with the Houston Rockets, where he had signed an $86 million, four-year deal in 2023. He was entering the final year of that contract when Phoenix secured his commitment.
His impact was immediate and measurable. Brooks appeared in 56 games, posting a career-best 20.2 points per game and becoming a central figure in the Suns’ two-way, hard-nosed identity. Phoenix returned to the playoffs as the eighth seed after missing the postseason the year prior, marking a new chapter following the departure of Kevin Durant. The run ended in a sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the direction of the franchise had clearly shifted.
The Brooks extension is part of a broader offseason strategy by Phoenix to retain its core. The Suns have already locked up guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, along with center Mark Williams. The front office also added forward Miles Bridges via trade, sending Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale to the Charlotte Hornets.
