Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension with the franchise through the 2029-30 season, the highest annual extension salary in NBA history, CAA’s Jessica Holtz and Melvin Booker told ESPN on Wednesday.
Booker and Suns owner Mat Ishbia met Wednesday night in Las Vegas to finalize the contract, which cements the franchise’s leader of the organization moving forward and his commitment to the Suns’ vision for the future.
Booker, the No. 13 pick by the Suns in the 2015 NBA draft, has played all 10 NBA seasons in Phoenix and he now lands his third contract extension to reestablish his long-term future with the franchise.
He has publicly and privately expressed the desire to play his career in Phoenix and bring a championship to the Suns.
Booker, a four-time NBA All-Star, two-time All-NBA selection, and two-time Olympic gold medalist for Team USA, last season became the Suns’ franchise career leader in points scored.
Booker has averaged at least 25 points in each of the past seven seasons; He has continued to grow his offensive game, averaging a career-high 7.1 assists last season while scoring 25.6 points and grabbing 4.1 rebounds.
Booker led the Suns to the NBA Finals in 2021 before losing to the Bucks in six games, and to the semifinals the following season.
