Devin Booker agrees to record-setting extension with Suns, per report

Devin Booker has agreed to terms on an extension with the Phoenix Suns, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The deal is said to be a 2-year, $145 million max extension that ties Booker to the Suns through the 2029-30 season.

Averaging $72.5 million per year, it’s the highest annual extension salary in NBA history, per ESPN. He’s now set to make $316 million from the Suns over the next five seasons.

Booker averaged 25.6 points, a career-high 7.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds in 75 games last season.

He’s spent all 10 years of his NBA career with the Suns and was named to the All-Rookie team in 2015-16. He’s a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection.

The Suns will look to continue constructing the roster around Booker for the foreseeable future. The franchise traded Kevin Durant, who led the team with 26.6 points per game last season, to the Houston Rockets this offseason.
