Mark Williams will stay with the Suns: renews for three years and 38 million dollars
The center, a restricted free agent, will continue in Phoenix after reaching a fully guaranteed agreement
Mark Williams will continue to defend the Phoenix Suns shirt after reaching an agreement to renew his contract for three seasons and $38 million, fully guaranteed, as reported by ESPN.
The 24-year-old center, who was a restricted free agent, closed the negotiations between the Arizona franchise and his representatives, Jeff Schwartz and Jordan Gertler, from Excel Sports Management, on Thursday night.
Williams has just completed his healthiest season of his four years in the NBA. The 7'1" player appeared in 60 games, surpassing his previous best of 44 games. As the Suns' starting center, he averaged 11 points, eight rebounds, and one block in 23.6 minutes per game.
The big man arrived in Phoenix during the night of the 2025 NBA Draft from the Charlotte Hornets after the first attempt to trade from the North Carolina franchise was canceled following the end of that season's winter market. Since his arrival, he earned a spot in the starting five and played a crucial role in the Suns exceeding expectations and securing a playoff spot.
Williams' NBA Seasons
Throughout his NBA career, Williams boasts averages of 12 points, 8.5 rebounds, and one block per game. Last summer, he failed to reach an agreement to extend his contract, leading him to become a restricted free agent this summer.
With this extension, Phoenix secures the continuity of the last of its priorities among players whose contracts were expiring. In recent days, the franchise had also reached agreements to keep young guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin on the roster.
