Suns Re-Sign Mark Williams to Three-Year, $38 Million Deal

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Friday, June 26, 2026, that restricted free agent Mark Williams intends to sign a three-year, $38 million contract to return to the Phoenix Suns.
  • The deal is fully guaranteed and contains no player or team options, a structure confirmed by ESPN, The Stein Line and follow-up reports.
  • Williams averaged about 11.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in 23.6 minutes over a career-high 60 games in 2025–26 but missed time late in the season with a left-foot stress reaction and was unavailable for the playoffs.
  • The contract’s roughly $11.7 million annual value pushes Phoenix close to the second apron and increases the team’s luxury-tax burden, limiting short-term roster flexibility for trades or additions.
  • The signing completes the Suns’ priority re-signings after deals for Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin and preserves roster continuity around Phoenix’s young frontcourt depth of Khaman Maluach, Oso Ighodaro and draftee Koa Peat.
