Big news comes from the NBA - the guard of the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker, signed a new two-year contract worth as much as 150 million dollars. According to information reported by Yahoo Sports, the club's management and their best player managed to reach an agreement that will keep one of the league's most recognizable faces in Arizona during his best career years.
This caused an avalanche of reactions from the public and fans of this NBA player, who believe that Booker made the right move. The management of Phoenix Suns is delighted with the contract extension, aware of how important this great player is to the team.
It is about a basketball player who entered the history of the team as the best scorer of all time. Given that he met the conditions for an extension, it was expected that an agreement would be reached - and now it is official.
A key figure for the Suns: What can we expect?
The great shooter is about to enter his 11th NBA season, and it is already known that he will earn $53.1 million in the second year of the current four-year contract. The total value of that contract is 220 million, which clearly shows how much Phoenix invests in its leader.
Last season was statistically very good for this 27-year-old. Namely, he scored an average of 25.6 points per game, shooting 46.1% from the field, while recording a record 7.1 assists. He played as many as 75 games - which is the most since the 2016/17 season, when he just arrived on the NBA scene.
He was selected for the All-Star game four times, and was a member of one of the league's ideal fives twice. It is clear that the experienced defender remained a central figure in the Sans attack, but also a leader on the field, in the dressing room and outside.
However, Phoenix didn't make a name for themselves last season – they finished the season with a nearly 36-46 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020. That's why this deal comes at a crucial time, as the franchise looks to become competitive again.
