Apr 30, 2021 1:29 PM

Mikal Bridges will become eligible for a contract extension with the Phoenix Suns this offseason.

Bridges is averaging 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 40.1 percent on three-pointers in this third NBA season. 

"Rival executives expect Bridges' deal might approach $20 million per season," wrote Zach Lowe.

The Suns must also consider extending Deandre Ayton while Chris Paul could become a free agent. Phoenix already has Devin Booker on a max contract.
