The Phoenix Suns are expected to sign unrestricted free agent Collin Gillespie to a four-year, $48-million contract. Collin Gillespie played in 80 games this past season, a significant increase from his previous two seasons combined. He averaged a career-high 12.7 points and set a franchise record for 3s in a single season with 232. Devin Booker praised Gillespie, saying he puts the work in and doesn't cheat any day. In his first career playoff series, Gillespie averaged 10.5 points, five rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and connected on 40% of his 3s. Collin Gillespie joined Phoenix on a two-way contract in 2024-25 after starting his career with the Denver Nuggets. He ended his five-year run at Villanova in 2021-22. The 26-year-old then agreed to just a one-year deal to make him an unrestricted free agent, but he was always looking to stay with the Suns. Jordan Ott, the Suns coach, described Gillespie as an incredible worker with high character. Gillespie scored a career-high 30 points, going 8-of-14 from 3, and posted 10 assists in a 130-125 win Feb. 3 at Portland. The Suns are looking to sign the unrestricted free agent to a four-year, $48-million contract, sources confirmed June 20 to The Arizona Republic. ESPN’s Shams Charania tweeted the news earlier in the day. Gillespie will turn 27 years old on June 25. He played a total of 57 games in his previous two seasons before 2025-26. This past season, he played 80 games with a career-high 58 starts. The feeling has been mutual for the Phoenix Suns, and seeing the two sides come together on a new deal shouldn’t come as a surprise. Gillespie told The Republic back in April during Phoenix’s first-round playoff series against Oklahoma City that discussions were already underway about staying in Phoenix.
