Devin Booker’s Parting Message to Suns Fans After Final Home Game..
There isn’t a team in the NBA this season that underachieved more than the Phoenix Suns. After being officially eliminated from postseason contention this past week, the future of the franchise remains very much up in the air. When you have stars like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, missing the playoffs is a tough pill to swallow. But not even earning a top-10 seed to qualify for the play-in tournament is an entirely different level of disappointment-and the Suns are experiencing it firsthand as they head into their final game of the season on Sunday. However, they wrapped up their home schedule on Friday night with a 117–98 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Durant sat out with an ankle sprain, and while Booker had no real incentive to play, he chose to suit up-and delivered a strong performance capped off with a parting message to Suns fans after the game. “It took a real Suns fan to be in there tonight,” Booker said. “I pay respect to the person that it was either their first time or maybe their last time ever
seeing me play.” Fans reacted to Booker’s comments after playing in his final home game: “Now why would he say that?” A fan said. “Worst failed superteam of all time,” Another fan posted. “Congrats you fulfilled the requirement of doing your job (all players should do this by default),” A fan suggested. One more fan commented, “Whether or not players mean this, I always appreciate them saying it.” The Suns final game of the season is on Sunday when the team travels to Sacramento for a day-time matchup with the Kings. They will then enter an offseason of major unpredictability where they’ll have to weigh many different options on how they want to approach their roster and coaching staff moving forward, which could lead to some intriguing decisions, potentially even involving Devin Booker.
