On By Littum

Phoenix Suns Guard Devin Booker was not selected as a reserve for 2025 NBA All-Star game.

It would have marked Booker’s fifth All-Star performance in his career. Instead of, unless Commissioner Adam Silver chooses Booker as a damages, it marks the second time in the last three years that Booker has been snubbed from an all-star election.

This season Booker is 11 in the NBA in the scoring with 25.5 points per year. Match. He stands out in the middle class by 49.1%, but shoots 44.4% from the field and 34.1% from 3-point reach on the way to his Fourth worst Effective field target percentage of his career (51.5%).

After an up and down start to the season, Booker has turned it on in January. He average 27.1 points, 7.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 47.2% off the field this month.

But it was too little, too late for the 28-year-old, who fought in December and also missed five matches due to a left groin.

Booker is the second -leading goal scorer at Suns behind Kevin Durant’s 27.3 points per Match. Last week, Durant was appointed an all-star for the 15th time in his career.
