Brooks averaged a career-high 20.2 points last season and helped Phoenix reach the playoffs, prompting a long-term deal, ESPN reported.
- On Wednesday, the Phoenix Suns and veteran forward Dillon Brooks agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension that keeps him in Phoenix through the 2030 season.
- Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and general manager Brian Gregory negotiated the deal to maintain roster continuity, as Brooks has become central to the team's "two-way, hard-nosed culture" under coach Jordan Ott.
- Averaging a career-high 20.2 points last season, Brooks established himself as the team's primary wing defender, helping Phoenix's defense improve from 27th in 2024-25 to ninth last season.
- Complementing the Brooks deal, owner Mat Ishbia prioritized roster retention by signing Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams, and Jordan Goodwin to multiyear contracts while acquiring Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard.
- The extension increases Brooks' average salary to $24.3 million per season, while the Suns remain $4.8 million under the second apron cap heading into the upcoming season.
