The Phoenix Suns and star player Devin Booker are “in talks” on a contract extension, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported on Monday.
Booker is eligible to sign a two-year, $149.8 million contract extension on July 6 as he enters his 11th season with the Suns.
He previously signed a four-year, $224 million supermax contract extension in 2022.
Booker has been the face of the franchise for most of his tenure, which started when the Suns selected him No. 13 overall in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Kentucky.

The 28-year-old is a four-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA honoree and the all-time leading scorer in Suns history with 16,452 points.
He averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game last year, shooting 46.1% from the floor and 33.2% from beyond the arc. He has averaged at least 25 points per game in each of the last seven years.
The Suns have moved on from superstar Kevin Durant by trading him to the Houston Rockets, moving towards retooling around Booker.
The highest average annual value on a contract in the NBA currently belongs to Joel Embiid, who signed a three-year, $193 million deal ($64.3 million AAV).
A $75 million AAV for Booker would set a new league record.
