Booker produced 32 points (10-26 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Although Booker led the team in scoring, he converted only 38.4 percent of his shots and relied on frequent trips to the charity stripe to bolster his totals. Booker's shot volume is immense, and he usually finds his way to a solid total due to his massive usage. The Suns should reach full potency once Booker shares the backcourt with Jalen Green (hamstring), who is close to making his debut.

Suns' Devin Booker: Posts 30-point double-double
Rotowire
Booker poured in 34 points (11-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one block over 44 minutes in Monday's 138-134 overtime loss to the Jazz.
Booker delivered his first double-double of the season in impressive fashion during a thrilling overtime loss that dropped the Suns to 1-3. The star guard has topped 30 points in three of four games and continues to shoulder the scoring load for a Phoenix team lacking secondary firepower, especially with Jalen Green (hamstring) yet to suit up this season. While team success may be tough to come by, Booker's start to the season has been electric and he looks poised for a massive 2025-26 campaign.

Suns' Devin Booker: Pours in game-high 31 in loss
Rotowire
Booker amassed 31 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-111 loss to the Nuggets.
It's the second time in three games to begin the season that Booker has dropped 31 points. The 28-year-old guard is seeing sky-high usage in the early going on a Suns roster that got stripped of established offensive talent in the offseason, and much of his production so far has come at the charity stripe -- Booker's averaging 10.3 free-throw attempts, a huge bump from the 6.4 he averaged in 2024-25.

Suns' Devin Booker: Held in check by Clippers
Rotowire
Booker notched 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Clippers.
Although Booker had an accurate night, his shot volume was way down in the blowout loss. The Clippers keyed in on him and played smothering defense, hassling Booker for the duration. Neutralizing Booker is a great way to shut down Phoenix's offense, and it worked flawlessly Friday night. More output from Booker's supporting cast will be necessary to keep nights like this from happening.

Suns' Devin Booker: Leads late rally for the win
Rotowire
Booker logged 31 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-15 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 win over the Kings.
Booker was off the court when the Suns began to eat away at Sacramento's double-digit lead, but his seven points in the fourth quarter helped to seal the deal against the Kings, who led by 17 points in the half. Thanks to Booker, the Suns got off to a great start despite the absence of Jalen Green (hamstring), who will miss at least one more game, and possibly more.

Suns' Devin Booker: Ready to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Booker (rest) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Booker missed the end of the preseason for rest purposes, but he's ready to roll for Opening Night. The superstar guard averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per contest in 75 regular-season games in 2024-25, and he should have even more ball-handling duties in the absence of Jalen Green (hamstring).

Suns' Devin Booker: Leading scorer in preseason loss
Rotowire
Booker contributed 18 points (4-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Nets in Macao.
The star guard led all scorers in the contest while also leading Phoenix in assists and tying for the team lead in boards and threes. With Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal (knee) no longer on the roster, Booker is back to being a one-man show in the Suns' offense, but it's his ability to stay healthy that will likely determine whether the 28-year-old can turn that opportunity into career-best production.

Suns' Devin Booker: Nets 24 points with seven dimes
Rotowire
Booker (calf) recorded 24 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, one block and just one turnover across 25 minutes in Friday's 103-81 preseason win over the Lakers.
Booker was very aggressive on offense, and he did a nice job of finding his teammates for open looks when the Lakers brought pressure. His calf didn't seem to bother him at all, and he'll now have a whole week to rest up ahead of Phoenix's next preseason game in China.

Suns' Devin Booker: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Booker (calf) is good to go for Friday's preseason matchup with the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Booker will likely be eased back into things with a minimal workload Friday evening, which should translate to more burn for guys like Jared Butler and Collin Gillespie. The fact that Booker is suiting up for a meaningless preseason game suggests that the calf issue he's dealing with is quite minor.

Suns' Devin Booker: Inks extension
Rotowire
Booker (calf) signed a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension with the Suns on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Booker added two more years to his existing deal, keeping him under the Suns' control through the 2029-30 season. Phoenix will feature a different supporting cast around Booker for his age-29 season, with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams joining the Suns this offseason via a pair of trades that cost them Kevin Durant and draft capital. Booker averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 regular season, and he should see more scoring opportunities sans Durant. Booker missed the Suns' regular-season finale with calf soreness, but the issue isn't expected to linger into camp.

Suns' Devin Booker: Out for season finale
Rotowire
Booker is out for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right calf soreness.
Booker was pulled in the fourth quarter of Friday's win over the Spurs, and the star guard won't be available for the regular-season finale. None of the Suns' "Big Three" players will suit up Sunday, as Bradley Beal (rest) and Kevin Durant (ankle) are also out. Despite the team's overall struggles and the disappointment of being out of the playoffs, Booker was one of the few bright spots for Phoenix consistently. He finished the season with averages of 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game across 75 starts.

Suns' Devin Booker: Pulled in fourth quarter
Rotowire
Booker notched 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 117-98 win over the Spurs.
Booker's early exit wasn't surprising considering the winning margin after three quarters, and with the playoffs out of reach, the Suns had no reason to risk injury with the superstar. Despite the dismal end to the 2024-25 campaign, Booker's seasonal averages were excellent once again. Over 75 games, he's averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds.

Suns' Devin Booker: Drops 14 dimes in loss
Rotowire
Booker produced 20 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to Oklahoma City.
Booker was more of a facilitator as the Suns dropped an eighth consecutive game, eliminating them from the playoffs. The team limped down the stretch without Kevin Durant (ankle), although Booker fid his level beat to keep his team in contention. With nothing left to play for, Booker's participation in the final two games is up in the air, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the superstar take a seat as the season ends.

Suns' Devin Booker: Lone brght spot in blowout loss
Rotowire
Booker provided 21 points (7-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 133-95 loss to the Warriors.
Booker and Grayson Allen were the only players to score in double digits during the embarrassing performance. The wheels have fallen off the bus without Kevin Durant (ankle), and the Suns will need a miracle to reach the playoffs after losing seven straight games. It's bad news for fantasy managers who rely on Booker in the last week of playoffs because a Dallas win or Phoenix loss may compel the Suns to sit their precious asset.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shines despite another loss
Rotowire
Booker provided 40 points (16-29 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Knicks.
Booker has scored at least 37 points in the Suns' last three games, but he can't do everything alone, as Phoenix has lost those contests by 10 or more points. Despite the team's overall struggles, Booker's explosive scoring run has been gold in fantasy, and he should continue to have a sky-high usage rate while playing alongside a struggling Bradley Beal and with Kevin Durant (ankle) being sidelined. Booker is averaging 27.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game over his last 10 outings.

Suns' Devin Booker: Game-high 37 points in defeat
Rotowire
Booker notched 37 points (15-29 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists and five rebounds in 38 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to Boston.
Booker posted a game-high mark in points during the blowout loss, and he has totaled 76 points over his last two games. Additionally, the superstar guard has now racked up 24 outings with 30-plus points this season. Booker struggled from beyond the arc against Boston, though in his previous five games entering Friday's contest, he had shot 38.6 percent from downtown. The 28-year-old should continue to see increased usage due to Kevin Durant (ankle) being sidelined.

Suns' Devin Booker: Big total not enough in loss
Rotowire
Booker ended Sunday's 148-109 loss to the Rockets with 28 points (12-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes.
Kevin Durant suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Rockets and will not travel with the team for Tuesday's game against the Bucks. That means Booker will almost certainly see a bump in usage in the short term. For the season, Booker remains on pace to return third-round value in nine-category formats with 25.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.

Booker produced 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 123-112 victory over the Cavaliers.
After striking for 41 points Wednesday against the Bulls, Booker let Kevin Durant carry the scoring load Friday but still supplied his 12th double-double of the season -- one short of his career high -- and third in the last five games. Booker is averaging 25.2 points, 9.4 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.8 threes over that stretch while shooting 40.0 percent (14-for-35) from beyond the arc.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shines with 41 points in win
Rotowire
Booker chipped in 41 points (14-26 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 victory over the Bulls.
Booker scored 20 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter, effectively negating a late rally from the Bulls. The much-needed win put the Suns back in 10th place in the West, increasing their odds to make the postseason. Sustained production from Booker and Kevin Durant is necessary to keep them there, and Booker will need more nights like Wednesday to maximize Phoenix's chances. The standout guard has regressed on occasion recently, with two 19-point games that fell well below his usual results. He's scored above 30 points only twice during the month of March.
