The Phoenix Suns are no strangers to trade discussions with rumors about Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler circulating ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, but

When Devin Booker was left off the NBA All-Star team, Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer explained why he deserves to be there.

The NBA just made a major announcement about Devin Booker as the Phoenix Suns continue to battle through a tough stretch.

Before the Suns game on Monday, Devin Booker had a full-circle moment with USA Basketball team director, Grant Hill.

The Phoenix Suns are expected to use one of their first-round picks to entice a team to take recently maligned center Jusuf Nurkic.

Don’t be surprised to see the Suns rising as the second half of the regular season unfolds. They have all the pieces to be much better than what their current record indicates.

Devin Booker scored 26 points, Kevin Durant added 24 and the surging Phoenix Suns survived a late scare for a 111-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

Kevin Durant scored a game-high 33 points and Devin Booker produced 28 with eight assists but the Phoenix Suns fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 121-113, on Wednesday. The loss snapped Phoenix's three-game win streak and extended Minnesota's win streak to four.

The NBA All-Star reserves were announced on Thursday night, and there was a notable absentee from the list: Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. Instead, Anthony Edwards and James Harden were selected by NBA coaches as the Western Conference guards.

Booker has now only made the All-Star Game four times in his 10 NBA seasons. He is averaging 25.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 44.4% from the floor and 34.1% from 3-point range in 41 games. The Suns' lowly 24-22 record made it difficult for them to have two All-Star selections.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Karl-Anthony Towns had already been named All-Star Game starters before the reserves were revealed Thursday night.
