According to NBA reporter Mark Stein on Sunday, the Phoenix Suns plan to renew their contract with Devin Booker in advance this summer. They are expected to offer Booker a two-year contract worth about $150 million, and Booker is inclined to accept the offer.
Once the contract extension is reached, Booker's annual income will jump to the top of the league. His current contract will expire in 2028, and his salaries for the next three seasons will be $53.14 million, $57.08 million and $61.02 million respectively.
The Suns had a sluggish record in the 2024/25 season, finishing 11th in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 46 losses. Booker played 75 regular season games for the Suns during this period, averaging 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, shooting 46.1% from the field and 33.2% from three-point range, one of the few bright spots in the team's turbulent period.
As they failed to qualify for the playoffs, there are various signs that the Suns will send Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal away this summer. Booker is considered by the Suns to be a non-saleable player, and the team is expected to rebuild the lineup around him.
Booker, 28, was selected by the Suns with the 13th pick in the first round in 2015 and has played for Phoenix for ten years. According to ESPN statistics, he has played 673 regular season games in his career, averaging 24.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%.
As for the playoffs, Booker played 47 games for the Suns, averaging 28.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%.
