Summary:
- Dillon Brooks will remain with the Phoenix Suns through 2030.
- The Canadian has reportedly agreed to a new three-year, $73 million contract extension.
- The decision follows the 30-year-old’s excellent season.
The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension with veteran forward Dillon Brooks, keeping the Canadian with the franchise through the 2029-30 NBA season, according to sources familiar with the agreement.
The deal, not yet officially announced, was first reported by ESPN, citing Brooks’ agent. The sources spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity given the pending status.
The new contract reflects Brooks’ importance to the Suns after an impressive first season in Phoenix.
The 30-year-old averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game while providing his trademark physical defense and intensity, helping the team exceed expectations with a surprise playoff appearance.
Dillon Brooks joined Phoenix after previously inking a four-year contract valued at $86 million with the Houston Rockets in 2023. He will enter the final season of the respective deal prior to the freshly negotiated extension going into effect.
The move is part of a broader strategy by the Suns to secure the core of last season’s roster for the long term. During the offseason, Phoenix also signed guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, along with center Mark Williams, to new deals.
The franchise has remained active in the trade market as well, recently acquiring forward Miles Bridges in a deal that sent Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale to the Charlotte Hornets.
By extending Brooks, the Suns continue building around a veteran core as they aim to remain contenders in the Western Conference over the coming seasons.
