On August 20, Beijing time, the Guangsha Men's Basketball team posted a photo of Sun Minghui signing on its official social media platform, with the caption: "Starting our 17th year with No. 17 Sun Minghui."

This summer, Sun Minghui's contract officially expired. Some fans asked whether he would stay with the team. Sun Minghui responded that he was uncertain, which attracted outside attention. There were rumors that Sun Minghui had received offers from overseas teams. Now the official contract renewal has been successfully completed, which also means that among the three young players of the Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, the core guard has been retained to continue the cooperation.

In the 2023-24 season, Sun Minghui played in 40 regular season games, averaging 36.3 minutes per game, scoring 21 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 2.4 steals; in 5 playoff games, averaging 30 minutes per game, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1 steal.

Sun Minghui still had the same old problems last season. His high playing time caused injuries and he had to rest in the third stage. In the playoffs, Guangsha tied with Shanxi 1-1. Sun Minghui returned early to help the team advance to the quarterfinals. However, facing the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, with Hu Jinqiu's injury and the foreign aid unable to match, Guangsha was eventually eliminated by Guangdong and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
