Versatile guard Collin Gillespie is reportedly passing on free agency and has agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract to remain with the Phoenix Suns, according to reports on Saturday.

Gillespie emerged as a long-range shooting threat last season and set a franchise record with 232 3-point baskets. Quentin Richardson (226 in 2004-05) held the old mark.

Gillespie also recorded career highs of 12.7 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 80 games (58 starts). He shot 40.1% from 3-point range.

Gillespie meshed well with Suns star Devin Booker in the backcourt, another factor in the push to keep him with a team that surprisingly posted a 45-37 record last season. Phoenix lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

After earning third-team All-American honors in each of his final two college seasons at Villanova, Gillespie wasn't selected in the 2022 NBA Draft. He played 24 games for the Denver Nuggets in 2023-24 before joining Phoenix and playing in 33 games (nine starts) in 2024-25.
