Suns, Bridges Agree to Four-Year, $90 Million Extension
Star Forward Inks Long-Term Deal in Phoenix
Contract Highlights
Mikal Bridges, the dynamic swingman for the Phoenix Suns, has agreed to a lucrative four-year, $90 million contract extension with the team. The deal, which was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, is fully guaranteed and includes an average annual salary of $22.7 million.
Bridges, a key contributor to the Suns' Western Conference championship run last season, has emerged as one of the NBA's most promising young players. In the 2020-21 campaign, he averaged career highs of 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 51.4% from the field and 42.5% from three-point range.
The Suns' decision to lock up Bridges long-term is a testament to his value to the team. He is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions and a reliable scorer who can create his own shot as well as play off the ball.
With Bridges under contract for the next four seasons, the Suns have secured a cornerstone piece of their young core. They will now look to build on their success from last season and compete for another NBA title.
