The Phoenix Suns intend to keep their backcourt depth intact heading into the 2026-27 season, as they have reportedly agreed on new contracts with guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, per ESPN’s Shams Charania and The Athletic. Both Gillespie and Goodwin are unrestricted free agents.
Both Gillespie and Goodwin were developed internally with the Suns, evolving from end of the bench players to key role players for a Phoenix squad that went 45-37 and earned the No. 8 seed in the West last season. Gillespie will reportedly sign a four-year deal, while Goodwin returns on a reported three-year pact.
