Shams Charania also includes news that Booker will be 2K23 cover athlete

One of the first moves announced as free agency opened, the Phoenix Suns are nearing an extension with All-NBA and face of the franchise guard Devin Booker for another four years, worth $214 million.

The Phoenix Suns and All-NBA guard Devin Booker are finalizing a four-year, $214 million supermax contract extension that he’s set to sign as soon as next week, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Booker will also be the cover athlete for NBA 2K23, per sources.

The money will be astronomical for Booker, especially as the extension reaches its end, but it’s as earned as it comes. From Suns Twitter CBA expert David:

Devin Booker will be under contract with PHX through the 27/28 NBA season. I have $$ at:

22/23 – $33,833,400
23/24 – $36,016,200
24/25 – $47,694,150
25/26 – $51,509,682
26/27 – $55,325,214
27/28 – $59,140,746

Booker already has a case as the best Sun of all time, though it’s still a debate. By the end of the contract, he could be set in stone with a statue in front of Footprint Center on the way.

He’s already sixth all time in franchise points and could pass Walter Davis (15,666 points) for the top spot as soon as 2024-25 based on his current pace.

It’s often necessary to put Booker’s Phoenix legacy in perspective and appreciate him for sticking around through thick and thin:

From “free Devin Booker” to making the NBA Finals, 64 wins, the cover of 2K, landing a super max + CP3 & now Kevin Durant wanting to join him in Phoenix.

He doesn’t get enough credit for sticking it out & staying loyal. This franchise has come a long way and it’s all due to him.

As Charania and Zona both mention, the contract extension announcement came with the news that Booker will be the cover athlete for the next installment in the NBA 2K video game series, widely considered the premiere NBA video game.

While 2K hasn’t officially announced the news themselves yet, they did tease the cover here, with some purple and orange tones abound:

Who will grace this cover of #NBA2K23?!

Don’t miss a beat as we reveal our cover stars, release gameplay first looks, and more.
