Devin Booker Vows To Stay With Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker wants to spend his entire career in Phoenix, saying "I wouldn't want it any other way." That matters: Booker is a four-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA and is averaging a career-best 30.0 PPG while signed through 2028–29. His pledge gives the Suns a rare cornerstone as the franchise moves past the Durant/Beal experiment and into a rebuild. Merlin sees a leader turning loyalty into duty. "It's a lot of pride," Booker said, and he’s already mentoring younger players while chasing the spark of those deep playoff runs. With Booker playing at his peak, Phoenix shortens the rebuild’s timetable — but the front office must still find the right supporting pieces and keep everyone healthy for the magic to return.
