Less than 24 hours after the Phoenix Suns resigned guard Collin Gillespie to a 4-year, $48 million deal, Phoenix is bringing back guard Jordan Goodwin on three-year, $19 million deal that includes a player option for the third season, according NBA Insider Shams Charania. The first year of the deal starts at $5.8 million and the third year with the player option is worth $6.8 million, according to Arizona Sports Insider John Gambadoro.
Goodwin, 27, had a career year with the Suns this past season, averaging nine points per game, five rebounds, two assists and led the team with 109 steals. Goodwin started Game 1 of the Suns’ series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but missed the rest of the team’s playoff run after injuring his calf early on.
Initially being traded to the Suns as part of the Bradley Beal deal, Goodwin spent the first half of the 2023-2024 season in Phoenix until he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets who waived him. After spending the 2024-2025 campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers, Goodwin resigned with the Suns last season and made the roster out of training camp and impressed.
Phoenix continues to bring back key players from their surprising season last year, and according to Charania and Gambadoro, retaining Mark Williams is the next order of business.
