Devin Booker injures his hamstring and leaves the game
Devin Booker is one of the NBA’s most curious cases. Mentored by Kobe Bryant, Devin Booker has been a prolific scorer for years. However, Devin Booker spent most of his career playing on historically bad Phoenix Suns teams. When it came to NBA awards, Devin Booker was often overlooked due to his teams never being good. During the 2019-2020 season, Devin Booker began to assert himself as a leader. This led to the Phoenix Suns getting wins.
Devin Booker elevated his play, during the bubble. While Devin Booker didn’t get the Suns into the playoffs, he did lead them to an eight game winning streak. The Suns would acquire Chris Paul during the 2020 offseason. When Devin Booker and Chris Paul combined, the Phoenix Suns quickly became one of the NBA’s best teams. Last year, Devin Booker and Chris Paul led the Suns to the NBA’s second best record.
Devin Booker made his playoff debut in 2021 and made up for the lost time. With Chris Paul, Devin Booker led the Suns to the NBA Finals. After dethroning the Lakers, and then beating the Nuggets and Clippers, the Suns went up 2-0 over the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo was on a mission, leading the Bucks to the title. This year, Devin Booker has been on a mission, but he injured his hamstring, late in Game 2, leading to the Pelicans’ upset win.
