3 years, $73 million! Dillon Brooks agrees to a contract extension with the Suns, a two-way player perfectly complementing Devin Booker.

On August 6, Beijing time, according to renowned reporter Shams, Mike George of Klutch Sports told ESPN: Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has reached a three-year, $73 million extension with the Suns, keeping him under contract through the 2029‑30 season. Under James Jones, Brooks has become a key part of the Suns' tough, two-way team culture, perfectly fitting alongside Devin Booker. He has secured this new long-term guaranteed contract.

Brooks plays shooting guard and small forward. He is physically strong, plays with a hard-nosed style, and is one of the most controversial two-way swingmen in the league.

In college, he attended the University of Oregon. As a junior, he was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year, leading the team to the NCAA Final Four, where he showcased his scoring and physicality. He was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 45th overall pick in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft and was immediately traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, beginning his NBA career.

With the Grizzlies, Brooks developed into a key rotation player, excelling at guarding the opposing team's top scoring threat with his physical defense. His feud with LeBron James became a major storyline. He was named to the All-Defensive Second Team in the 2022‑23 season. However, his aggressive style, often crossing the line, leads to foul trouble, and his shot selection is frequently criticized, making him a classic "on-court villain."

In the summer of 2023, Brooks left Memphis, signing a big contract to join the Houston Rockets. That same year, at the FIBA World Cup, he led Canada to its first-ever bronze medal, winning the tournament's Defensive Player of the Year award. In the bronze medal game against the United States, he dropped 39 points, shocking the basketball world. He later moved to the Suns and completed a three-year, $73 million extension this summer, becoming a key piece in building Phoenix's tough two-way culture.

On the national team, Brooks is a core player for Canada, leading the team in multiple international competitions. His strengths and weaknesses are clear: he has defensive tenacity, is willing to step up in big games, and possesses ball-handling, shooting, and mid-range finishing ability. However, shot selection and emotional control remain his weaknesses. He is willing to do the dirty work and is a hard-nosed role player highly valued by championship-contending teams.
