Dillon Brooks Signs Three-Year, $73 Million Extension with Phoenix Suns

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through the 2029-30 season. The deal is fully guaranteed with an average annual value of roughly $24.3 million. The extension replaces the final year of Brooks’s prior $86 million, four-year contract with the Houston Rockets. Suns salary-cap projections show a cap hit just under $21 million for the final year and just over $22 million for the first year.

Brooks arrived in Phoenix in the 2025-26 offseason as part of the seven-team trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston. The 30-year-old Canadian forward entered his first year with the Suns and quickly became a key piece of the team’s “hard-nosed, two-way” identity under head coach Jordan Ott. Phoenix’s surprise playoff run—finishing 45-37 and securing the eighth seed—was credited in part to Brooks’s defensive intensity and scoring surge. Owner Mat Ishbia said the extension was a priority to keep the roster together.

Suns owner Mat Ishbia emphasized that the franchise “won’t let Dillon go,” framing the extension as essential to maintaining team culture. General manager Brian Gregory and CEO Josh Bartelstein negotiated the deal to avoid free-agency competition in 2027. Suns communications noted the continuity of the core roster, adding that the team also re-signed Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams, and Jordan Goodwin while acquiring Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard.

No official league filing has confirmed the precise figures. The contract is described as “team-friendly,” though the maximum veteran extension Brooks could have secured was projected at $125 million over four years, a figure not yet confirmed by the player or his representatives.
