Devin Booker Reacts To Heartbreaking Phoenix Suns News

Following the news, the Suns released statements from current former members of the organization.

One person who made a statement was Devin Booker.

Booker: "I had the privilege of Al McCoy narrating the first eight years of my career. He was inducted into the Ring of Honor my second season, and it was then I really understood what a special talent he was. And over the course of my career, I’ve learned what an even more special person he was. We will miss Al, and I am so glad our legacies in Phoenix are forever connected."

Back in 2022, when the Suns won a record 64 games, Booker gave his jersey to McCoy.

Booker was the 13th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after one season of college basketball at Kentucky.

He has spent his entire nine-year career with the Suns.

Last season, Booker averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest while shooting 49.2% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point range in 68 games.
