Apr 9, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (1) dribbles the ball against Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (9) during the first half at Footprint Center. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker have agreed on a two-year maximum contract extension worth an estimated $145 million that will keep the All-Star guard with the franchise through the 2029-30 season, according to multiple reports on Wednesday night.
Booker, 28, will earn the highest annual salary in an extension in league history, ESPN reported. The $72.5 million per season pushes Booker ahead of the $71.25 million average annual value of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s $285 million super max extension. The reigning NBA MVP of the newly minted league champions was awarded the new deal earlier this month.
The Suns will have Booker in the fold for five years and $316 million as they build around the four-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA honoree and two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Phoenix has a new general manager after promoting executive Brian Gregory. Ex-GM James Jones was moved into a senior advisor role before joining the league’s front office as executive vice president. The announcement came earlier on Wednesday.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ott has replaced head coach Mike Budenholzer, with Booker reportedly involved in the coaching search and approving Ott.
The Suns are making over the roster as well, having traded 15-time All-Star forward Kevin Durant to Houston in a seven-team transaction that brought a package of players, including veterans Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks as well as rookie center Khaman Maluach, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft out of Duke.
Phoenix selected Booker with the 13th overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft out of Kentucky.
He has averaged 24.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 34.4 minutes in 673 regular-season games (648 starts) in his 10-year career. He also has averaged 28.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 40.0 minutes in 47 playoff games (all starts).
Last season, Booker averaged 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 37.3 minutes in 75 regular-season games.

College Football QB Power Rankings: Arch Manning falls from top 50, TCU’s Josh Hoover ascends to No. 1 spot
The top two signal-callers from the much-maligned quarterback class of 2023 stumbled out of the gate Saturday, as Texas' Arch Manning and UCLA's Nico Iamaleava both struggled in Week 1 losses. Their poor showings led to a major shakeup in this week's quarterback power rankings.Manning's performance in Texas' 14-7 loss at Ohio State was particularly jarring. The former No. 1 overall prospect didn't complete a pass of more than nine yards until the fourth quarter. Iamaleava wasn't much better in his UCLA debut, hitting just 11 of 22 passes for 136 yards in a 43-10 loss at Utah.Both Manning and Iamaleava dropped out of the top 50 altogether. The biggest risers were Florida State's Tommy Castellanos and Auburn's Jackson Arnold, who used their legs to vault into the top 10 with impressive debuts for new teams.These rankings are not a […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Sleepers, top picks from NFL model that nailed James Cook’s big season
The 49ers are looking to be the latest team to complete the last-to-first transformation in their division, which has been done in four of the last five seasons, and if San Francisco can accomplish that, there's a good chance they'll have some players outperforming their ADP in 2025 Fantasy football drafts. One of the benefits of coming in last place is an easier schedule the following year, so can 49ers like Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle finish toward the very top of their positions in Fantasy points.The 49ers already have additional injuries early in training camp, on top of Brandon Aiyuk, who will miss at least the first few weeks of the season following his knee injury last year. Aiyuk's early-season absence drops him in 2025 Fantasy football rankings, but he's still someone to be drafted, and he […]

Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Exposed Flaws — But It’s Too Soon to Panic
Bill Belichick's debut as North Carolina's head coach might have been the worst game of his head coaching career.The 48 points UNC gave up to TCU on Monday night were more than any Belichick-coached team gave up in any game during his 29 seasons as an NFL head coach. The 48-14 final was also tied for the second-largest margin of defeat in Belichick's head coaching career. After Belichick's Tar Heels committed a multitude of errors that allowed the Horned Frogs to score 41 straight points in Monday's game, FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt admitted that he's a bit concerned about UNC. However, he has some hope that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can work some of his magic, while getting some scheduling luck, to right the ship in Chapel Hill. "Am I worried about North Carolina? Yeah, a […]
