Restricted free agent Mark Williams is staying with the Phoenix Suns after agreeing to a fully guaranteed three-year, $38 million contract, according to ESPN.

The new deal keeps Phoenix’s starting center in place after a solid 2025-26 campaign in which Williams averaged 11.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.0 block in 23.6 minutes per game.

Williams became the final priority free agent for the Suns to re-sign this offseason.

The agreement follows Phoenix’s recent deals with young guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, allowing the organization to retain its core group ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Williams’ new contract was finalized following negotiations between the Suns and his representatives at Excel Sports Management, giving Phoenix another key piece as it prepares for next season.
