Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker was not named to the Western Conference's pool of All-Star reserve players yesterday, leaving the franchise player with just four nods in his career in ten seasons.

The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.

Despite this, a strong January along with consistent support from players and coaches around the league has left some hopeful that the franchise legend will ultimately get a bid - including head coach Mike Budenholzer, who made his final plea in his post-game press conference last night.

The Suns have also rebuffed teams bold enough to inquire about Devin Booker, who is 100 points away from becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. Booker has never given any

Devin Booker scored 26 points, Kevin Durant added 24 and the surging Phoenix Suns survived a late scare for a 111-109 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels was ejected with 20 seconds remaining in Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns after poking Suns guard Devin Booker in the face at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
