The Phoenix Suns are having a forgettable 2024-25 campaign by their lofty standards. They are 11th in the Western Conference with a 35-41 record, so the odds are stacked against them in qualifying for the postseason.
Because of this, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal have been in trade rumors since the team might be compelled to break up their Big 3. However, Booker is committed to sticking around despite their current situation.
“It’s been tough, it’s been a grind. We’re in a tough situation right now, but I think this is what we’ve been waiting on the whole time. We know we have the talent in the locker room to do it. It’s going to be tough, but we’re here for it,” Booker said via The Ringer’s Logan Murdock.
“It’s not always greener on the other side,” he added. “People always want to leave their situation and end up in a worse situation and then they go missing. You’ll never have the love like you have by the team that drafted you.”
The road gets tougher for the Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns are on a four-game losing streak and will be shorthanded in their next few games. Kevin Durant (ankle), Bradley Beal (hamstring), and Royce O’Neale (illness) are not fit, so the rest have to step up.
Their injuries give Devin Booker a heavier responsibility on the offensive side of the court. The four-time NBA All-Star averages 25.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists on 45.6 percent shooting from the field across 70 starts.
Booker is fresh from a 39-point performance during their 133-123 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks last night.
