Suns keeping Dillon Brooks on $73M extension through 2029-30 - ESPN

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through the 2029-30 season, agent Mike George of Klutch Sports told ESPN on Wednesday night.

Brooks has become a key part of the Suns' two-way, hard-nosed culture under coach Jordan Ott and landed a new fully guaranteed long-term deal.

Amid contract decisions across the roster, the Suns maintained continuity from last season's surprise playoff team by signing Brooks, Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin to multiyear deals, along with acquiring Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard.

Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and general manager Brian Gregory negotiated with George during recent weeks on a deal to keep Brooks in Phoenix. Suns owner Mat Ishbia made a commitment to reenter the luxury tax to keep together the roster — plus new additions — for growth next season.

Brooks averaged a career-high 20.2 points last season as well as 26.0 points in a first-round playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been on teams that made the playoffs in five of his past six seasons.

The Suns' defense went from 27th in 2024-25 to ninth this past season in large part due to Brooks' performance as the team's primary wing defender.
