The Phoenix Suns have made an emphatic statement about their future, reportedly agreeing to a historic two-year, $145 million USD maximum contract extension with superstar guard Devin Booker. This monumental deal, which ties Booker to the Suns through the 2029-30 season, sets a new benchmark as the highest annual extension salary in NBA history, averaging $72.5 million USD per year.
This agreement underscores the Suns’ clear intent to build their franchise around Booker. It comes during a period of significant roster overhaul for Phoenix, including the recent trade of Kevin Durant, signaling that Booker is firmly cemented as the team’s cornerstone for the foreseeable future. Booker’s new contract surpasses the previous record set by Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander‘s $71.25 million USD average. With three seasons remaining on his existing deal, this extension means Booker is now under contract for a staggering five years, totaling $316 million USD.
The 28-year-old Booker has spent his entire 10-year NBA career with the Suns since being drafted 13th overall in 2015. A four-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA selection, and the Suns’ all-time leading scorer, he has consistently averaged over 25 points per game for the past seven seasons. This third contract extension with Phoenix reaffirms his deep commitment and loyalty to the franchise in an era often defined by frequent player movement.
