Dillon Brooks is sticking around in Phoenix.
The Suns and Brooks have agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension that runs through the 2029-30 season, according to NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN, who cited Mike George of Klutch Sports.
Charania also reported that Phoenix could have offered Brooks as much as four years and $125 million on a new extension. Instead, Brooks’ deal comes in at an average annual value of $24.33 million, well below the max figure of $31.25 million, while still giving him a guaranteed long-term home with the franchise.
Brooks made a strong first impression in his first season with the Suns in the 2025-26 campaign. After arriving as part of the massive, seven-team trade that sent Kevin Durant out of Phoenix in the summer of 2025, he became much more than a tough defender and brought real scoring punch to the mix.
In 56 games, Brooks averaged a career-high 20.2 points and 3.6 rebounds, while posting a 50.1 effective field goal percentage. His shot selection and efficiency can still be sharpened, but the Suns clearly valued the way he kept firing and helped push the team beyond expectations in the first year after Durant’s departure.
Phoenix wasn’t exactly expected to make noise once Durant left, but the Suns still reached the playoffs. Brooks played a major role in that push, especially with Jalen Green sidelined by injury, and made his presence felt at both ends of the floor.
Booker is entering his 10th season in the league after getting selected by the Houston Rockets in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft.

Suns Just Showed How They Want To Build Around Booker
The Suns have been busy reinforcing the roster around Devin Booker, and their latest move says plenty about the direction they want to take. Phoenix agreed to a new deal with veteran forward Dillon Brooks, another sign the front office is leaning into continuity after adding other players on multiyear contracts and bringing in fresh talent to stabilize the group.
Brooks gives the Suns the kind of edge and experience they have clearly valued as they reshape the roster. He was already under contract for one more season, but Phoenix moved early to keep him in place for the long run, a decision that fits the teams broader push to build a more settled core around Booker rather than keep cycling through short-term fixes.

Suns Send A Clear Message With Dillon Brooks Commitment
The Suns have spent the offseason making one thing clear: they are not treating last years roster as a temporary fix. Dillon Brooks is the latest example, with Phoenix agreeing to a three-year, $73 million extension that keeps the forward in place through the 2029-30 season. Since arriving in a trade last July, Brooks has become part of a broader push by the Suns to add stability, after he had already carved out a reputation with the Grizzlies and Rockets.
For a team that has already handed out several multi-year deals and made more roster changes this summer, the commitment to Brooks fits the pattern. Phoenix is signaling that it wants more than short-term patchwork around its core, and it is willing to pay to keep players who match that direction. The next question is how far the Suns keep going as they continue shaping the roster around those longer commitments. [Read more 🡒]
Dillon Brooks Just Reinforced The Identity These Suns Want To Be
Dillon Brooks is sticking around in Phoenix, and the Suns made sure of it by locking up the forward with a three-year, $73 million extension that runs through the 2029-30 season. The deal is fully guaranteed and has no options, a clear sign the organization values the edge, toughness and edge-of-the-seat style Brooks has brought as he headed into the final year of his previous contract.
For a team trying to define what it wants to look like moving forward, this is a fairly loud statement about identity. Brooks will earn just over $22 million in the first year of the extension, and the length of the commitment suggests the Suns see him as more than just a useful piece for the moment. They see him as part of the tone they want setting nightly. [Read more 🡒]
