The deal sets a new high for average annual value in an NBA contract, highlighting Booker&#8217;s role as the centerpiece of the team&#8217;s long-term plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since being drafted in 2015, Booker has grown into one of the league\u2019s elite scorers and a foundational figure in Phoenix. His influence extends beyond the court, as he\u2019s been actively involved in key team decisions, including the hiring of new head coach Jordan Ott. With this extension, the Suns are reaffirming their commitment to building around their franchise star for the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds last season while continuing to anchor the team\u2019s offense. Despite a disappointing early playoff exit, the Suns see Booker as a player capable of leading them back into championship contention. With this deal in place, Phoenix locks in its top star as the team retools its roster and coaching staff for another deep run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devin Booker has agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum extension with the Phoenix Suns, securing his place with the franchise through the 2029\u201330 season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"acf":[],"rttpg_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook.jpg",2560,1707,false],"landscape":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook.jpg",2560,1707,false],"portraits":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"large":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-1024x683.jpg",640,427,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-2048x1366.jpg",2048,1366,true],"digital-newspaper-featured":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-1020x700.jpg",1020,700,true],"digital-newspaper-list":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-600x400.jpg",600,400,true],"digital-newspaper-thumb":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"digital-newspaper-small":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-150x95.jpg",150,95,true],"digital-newspaper-grid":["https:\/\/theamshift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bigbook-400x250.jpg",400,250,true]},"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/?author=1"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/?cat=19\" rel=\"category\">Sports<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"Devin Booker has agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum extension with the Phoenix Suns, securing his place with the franchise through the 2029\u201330 season.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2450"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2452,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450\/revisions\/2452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamshift.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
