Phoenix Suns Plan $120M Extension for Kevin Durant

Team owner Mat Ishbia expresses confidence in securing Durant's long-term future with the franchise.

Kevin Durant, currently sidelined with a calf injury, is expected to sign a two-year, $120 million extension with the Phoenix Suns after the 2024-25 season.
Durant's potential extension would keep him with the Suns through the 2027-28 season, aligning with the team's goal of having him retire in Phoenix.
Durant, 36, is averaging 27.6 points per game this season and is considered one of the NBA's MVP leaders despite his recent injury.
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has been proactive in building a competitive team, including acquiring Bradley Beal and hiring coach Mike Budenholzer.
The Suns have struggled without Durant, going 1-5 in his absence, but started the season strong with an 8-1 record.
