Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker signed a contract that will reportedly make him the highest-paid player in NBA history.
Booker, 28, signed a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension with the Suns through the 2029-2030 season, according to ESPN.
Booker’s annual salary of $72.5 million after the extension is the richest annual average for a contract in NBA history. Booker’s contract is now for five years and $316 million.

The Suns star’s deal surpassed the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the richest average annual value. Gilgeous-Alexander has an average annual value of $71.25 million on his four-year, $285 million contract.
The Suns drafted Booker with the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Kentucky, and the shooting guard turned into a star quickly.
Booker has spent all ten seasons of his career with the Suns. The former Kentucky star has averaged 24.4 points, four rebounds and just over five assists in 673 career regular-season games.
