Suns' Devin Booker: Struggles to find shot Wednesday
Rotowire
Booker scored 11 points (3-14 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and chipped in one assist over 23 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Bulls.
The star guard couldn't get his shot to fall, but shaking off any summer rust is what the preseason is for. Booker heads into his 12th season with the Suns as the focal point of the offense and a reliable threat to average better than 25 points a game, but nagging injuries have been an issue for him in recent years. The 29-year-old has played 70 or more games only once in the last six seasons.

Suns' Devin Booker: Nets 13 points in 16 minutes
Rotowire
Booker recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 16 minutes in Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Booker was limited to the first half of play in the Suns' first preseason game, but he looked good in his limited minutes and finished with a plus-18 differential. He did a nice job running the offense and was aggressive with his shot selection, so he looks all set up for another big season as the main man in Phoenix.

Suns' Devin Booker: Feeling healthy this year
Rotowire
Booker is feeling the healthiest in his career this year, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
Booker is looking forward to his 12th year with the Suns in 2026-27 and is set for another huge campaign as the team's top scoring option. The star guard stands out as a safe investment in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, having played at least 64 games in each of the past eight seasons while averaging at least 25 points, five assists and nearly four rebounds plus one steal in all of the last four years.
Booker will be sharing a different starting lineup next year after the Suns acquired Miles Bridges from the Hornets this summer.
The Suns have constructed a talented roster around their franchise centerpiece, now featuring Bridges as opposed to lower-usage options such as Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. Although Bridges could theoretically cut into Booker's ballhandling opportunities to an extent, the latter could experience a jump in efficiency after shooting 45.6 percent from the field last regular season, his lowest mark since 2017-18. Booker also shot just 33.0 percent from deep last regular season, his worst figure since 2018-19, and Bridges' presence could result in more open looks from downtown.
Booker registered 24 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six assists and one block in 41 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Booker was unable to pull a game back for the Suns as the season came to an end Monday night. Playing in his 11th NBA campaign, Booker compiled regular-season averages of 26.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes per contest.
Booker closed with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 39 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Booker briefly exited Saturday's game after tweaking his ankle when he got tripped up by Luguentz Dort, but he returned a few minutes later and didn't appear any worse for wear. He still struggled to find his shot with Dort draped all over him, and he'll need to be better if the Suns hope to avoid a four-game sweep in Monday's Game 4.
