The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract with Collin Gillespie, according to multiple reports. The deal secures the young guard's future with the franchise, locking him in through the 2027-28 season.
Gillespie, who went undrafted in 2022 out of Villanova, has carved out a role as a reliable backup point guard. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.4 assists in 18.5 minutes per game last season while shooting 38.5% from three-point range. The 25-year-old's tenacity and basketball IQ have made him a favorite among the coaching staff.
The Suns view Gillespie as a key piece of their championship window alongside stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The contract is structured to increase in value over its duration, providing the team with salary cap flexibility in the short term while rewarding Gillespie for his development.
