Phoenix Suns Extend Dillon Brooks Through 2029-30 With $73M Deal The Phoenix Suns have secured forward Dillon Brooks on a three-year, $73 million contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2029-30 season, according to agent Mike George of Klutch Sports, who confirmed the agreement to ESPN on Wednesday. The deal, fully guaranteed, marks a significant step in the Suns’ efforts to solidify their roster and build on last season’s playoff success. Brooks, a key component of the Suns’ two-way, hard-nosed defensive culture under head coach Jordan Ott, has become a cornerstone of the team’s identity. His commitment to the organization was underscored by the Suns’ decision to retain him alongside other key players, including Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams, and Jordan Goodwin, who also signed multiyear deals. Additionally, the Suns acquired Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard to further strengthen their roster. The Suns’ leadership, including CEO Josh Bartelstein and general manager Brian Gregory, engaged in negotiations with George over recent weeks to finalize the deal. Owner Mat Ishbia’s decision to reenter the luxury tax threshold was a critical factor in the Suns’ ability to retain their core players and add new talent, positioning the team for continued growth in the coming seasons. Brooks’ performance last season was instrumental in the Suns’ turnaround. He averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game and delivered a standout performance in the first-round playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he scored 26.0 points. Over his career, Brooks has consistently contributed to playoff teams, with his squad making the postseason in five of his past six seasons. The Suns’ defensive improvements this season were largely attributed to Brooks’ impact as their primary wing defender.#phoenix_suns #jordan_ott #dillon_brooks #mike_george #mat_ishbia
