Kevin Durant has spoken about the possibility of signing a one-year, $59.7 million contract extension with the Phoenix Suns for the 2026-2027 season. The player became eligible to sign the extension on July 12 and has until October 21 to do so.
“I have two years left on my contract,” Durant commented one day after turning 36 during the media day that kicks off the 2024/25 season. “I’m focused on being the best I can be every day at the moment. We’ll take care of those things when the time comes.”
The Suns acquired Durant from the Brooklyn Nets before the 2023 trade deadline.
“Everyone talks about Kevin, Kevin loves being here,” team owner Mat Ishbia stated on Monday. “We love Kevin Durant. We talk with him and his agent, Rich Kleiman, all the time. We don’t discuss contract extensions publicly, but I’ll tell you this: Kevin loves it. We love Kevin. We plan for Kevin to be here. Nothing is changing about that.”
Meanwhile, James Jones, Suns’ general manager, expressed: “We love having KD here. We want him here. We’ll figure it out. Like Mat said, we don’t talk much about that publicly, but what we do talk publicly is about who really wants to be here and who is a great addition for us. So we love KD, he loves being here. That goes without saying.”
