Phoenix Suns and Grayson Allen finalize contract extension after career-best
season
PHOENIX (AP) --- The Phoenix Suns and guard Grayson Allen have finalized a
multi-year deal that will keep him with the franchise following the best season
of his NBA career.
The deal, which was announced on Tuesday, is worth $70 million over four
seasons, according to ESPN.
Allen, 28, averaged a career-high 13.5 points per game while leading the NBA
with a 46.1% percentage from 3-point range. He was one of the team's few
consistent players, providing constant floor spacing and long-range shooting
while All-Stars Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal found their footing.
The sixth-seeded Suns will face the No. 3 seed Minnesota Timberwolves in the
first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
"I love being in Phoenix and believe in what we can achieve here," Allen said
in a statement. "Thank you to Mat Ishbia and the organization for embracing me.
I'm excited to make a long-term commitment to remain in this community and
continue building with this team."
Allen is in his sixth NBA season and has played for the Utah Jazz, Memphis
Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks. He played his college basketball at Duke.
