Suns Reward Brooks After Breakout Season
The Phoenix Suns have committed to Dillon Brooks for the long term, agreeing to a three-year contract extension that will keep the veteran with the franchise through the 2029-30 NBA season, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
The nine-year NBA veteran arrived in Phoenix during the 2025-26 campaign after spending the previous two seasons with the Houston Rockets.
Phoenix Continues to Build Its Core
Brooks is entering the final year of the four-year, $86 million contract he signed with Houston in 2023. His extension comes as the Suns continue to secure the core of last season's roster with long-term deals.
Phoenix has also signed guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, along with center Mark Williams, to new contracts. The franchise further reshaped its roster by acquiring forward Miles Bridges in a trade that sent Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to the Charlotte Hornets.
Career Year Helped Lead Suns Back to Playoffs
Brooks enjoyed the best offensive season of his career in 2025-26, appearing in 56 games while averaging a career-high 20.2 points per game.
His emergence helped usher the Suns into a new chapter following the departure of Kevin Durant. Behind Brooks' strong performances, Phoenix returned to the playoffs as the Western Conference's eighth seed after missing the postseason the previous year.
Although the Suns were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round, the franchise's decision to extend Brooks signals its confidence in him as a key piece of its long-term plans.
