Hold onto your jerseys, Suns fans — this is not a drill.
Grayson James Allen, the sharpshooting guard who’s become a spark plug for the Phoenix Suns, has officially inked a three-year contract extension, keeping him in the Valley through the 2027-28 NBA season.
Announced just moments ago via the team’s official press release — and confirmed by Allen himself on social media with a fire emoji and the caption “Let’s run it back!” — the deal is reportedly worth $36 million, according to league insiders.
This move sends a clear message: the Suns are doubling down on their core and believe Allen is a major piece of their championship puzzle.

From Role Player to Fan Favorite
When Allen was first acquired, many wondered if his impact would go beyond the perimeter. Fast forward to today, and there’s no question: Grayson Allen has become one of Phoenix’s most reliable two-way threats.
This past season, Allen averaged 13.7 points per game, shot a blistering 42.6% from deep, and played with the kind of grit and intensity that made him a staple in the Suns’ rotation. His fearless shooting, physical defense, and swagger have made him both a locker room leader and fan favorite.

“I’m Just Getting Started”
Speaking at an impromptu press conference at the Footprint Center this afternoon, Allen was all smiles.
> “I’m thankful to the Suns organization for believing in me,” he said. “I’ve grown so much here, and I feel like I’m just getting started. We’ve got unfinished business — and I want to win it all in Phoenix.”
Suns GM James Jones praised Allen’s growth and toughness:
> “Grayson embodies the culture we’ve built here — competitive, fearless, and committed. This extension was a no-brainer.”

What This Means for the Suns
With Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and now Allen all under contract, the Suns are setting the stage for another deep playoff push. While critics have questioned the team’s depth, Allen’s presence — especially in clutch moments — has been a difference-maker.
The extension also provides cap stability and reinforces Phoenix’s belief in continuity over chaos. Expect Allen to continue guarding the opposing team’s best guards, knocking down corner threes, and giving the Suns that edge they desperately need in tight games.
