據Charania報導，Okogie吸引了多家球隊的興趣，最終決定回到鳳凰城，太陽隊利用Okogie的早鳥權利將他帶回隊中。薪資專家Yossi Gozlan表示，Okogie的新合約，將使太陽隊的奢侈稅罰款增加令人瞠目結舌的兩億美元。
Okogie在上賽季健康出場的60場比賽中，Okogie場均貢獻4.6分、2.6個籃板、1.1次助攻和0.8次抄截，場均上場時間僅為16分鐘，投籃命中率為41.7%/30.9%/74.5%。
The second year non-guarantee makes Josh Okogie's salary this year good for a potential trade, although they can't aggregate him and can only decrease payroll in a trade.
