Local media reported the contract is worth $70 million.
"We are thrilled Eric Bledsoe will be in a Phoenix Suns uniform
for years to come," General Manager Ryan McDonough said in a
statement. "We feel he is well on his way to establishing
himself as one of the elite players in the NBA."
The 24-year-old Bledsoe averaged a career-high 17.7 points, more
than double his previous season's production, and 5.5 assists in
43 games last season, though he was affected by leg injuries.
Phoenix won 48 games last season and narrowly missed the
playoffs.
