Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Steve Nash has agreed on terms to a two-year contract extension with the Phoenix Suns worth $22 million, the star guard's agent said.
The 35-year-old Canadian playmaker, who will be paid $13 million next season, will now stay with the Suns through the 2011-2012 campaign, according to agent Bill Duffy.
Nash left the Dallas Mavericks for Phoenix in 2004 for a five-year deal worth 65 million dollars. Nash, who won NBA Most Valuable Player honors in 2005 and 2006, was drafted by the Suns in 1996 and traded to Dallas in 1998.
The Suns missed the playoffs last season for the first time since Nash returned from Dallas and star forward Amare Stoudemire is entering the final season of his contract.
