Last year the Suns extended their partnership with Paypal, the global online payment system, through to the 2026 season.
PayPal had warned that it would end its sponsorship deal with the Phoenix Suns if Robert Sarver remained owner of the franchise beyond the 2022-23 season.
This was in the wake of Sarver being suspended by the NBA for one year and handed a $10 million fine for misconduct toward employees in the workplace.
The Suns were subsequently bought by Mat Ishbia, the billionaire chairman and president of US mortgage lender United Wholesale Mortgage, for $4 billion.
Confirmed360 also has partnerships with the Golden State Warriors, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Wizards.
