The Phoenix Suns are all-in on Devin Booker.
The 28-year-old star shooting guard has agreed to a two-year, $145 million max extension that keeps him in Phoenix through the 2029–30 season, according to sources close to the deal. While the team hasn’t officially announced it, the move sends a clear message: Booker is the cornerstone of the Suns’ future.
Since entering the league as the 13th overall pick in 2015, Booker has quietly become one of the NBA’s elite guards. A four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection, he’s averaged 24.4 points per game over his 10-year career — including 25.6 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds last season.
Despite his strong performance, the Suns stumbled in 2024–25, missing the playoffs in a year filled with high expectations. Their superstar trio — Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal — never found the chemistry needed to contend. The disappointing season led to a major shake-up: head coach Mike Budenholzer was fired, replaced by Jordan Ott from the Cavaliers’ bench, and longtime GM James Jones was also shown the door.
The new leadership isn’t wasting time. In a bold offseason move, the Suns traded Durant to Houston in a massive seven-team blockbuster, bringing in Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. Rumors are swirling that Beal could be next, leaving Booker as the last man standing — and the clear face of the franchise.
