Phoenix Suns lock up forward Dillon Brooks with $73M extension through 2029‑30
The Phoenix Suns have signed veteran forward Dillon Brooks to a fully guaranteed three‑year contract worth $73 million, keeping him with the franchise through the 2029‑30 NBA season. The deal, negotiated by Brooks’ agent Mike George of Klutch Sports along with Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein, general manager Brian Gregory and owner Mat Ishbia, starts at just over $22 million in the first year.
Brooks, a 30‑year‑old Canadian who arrived in Phoenix as part of the Kevin Durant trade with the Houston Rockets, posted a career‑high 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game last season. His defensive intensity helped lift the Suns from 27th to ninth in the league’s defensive rankings and contributed to a surprise playoff appearance, where he averaged 26 points in the first‑round series. Coach Jordan Ott has highlighted Brooks as a key piece of the team’s hard‑nosed culture.
The extension secures one of the Suns’ core players as the franchise continues to build around its revamped roster, which also includes multiyear deals for Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin, and recent acquisitions Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard.
