Kevin Durant Makes Hall of Fame Case For Former Phoenix Suns Teammate

Kevin Durant called former Phoenix Suns teammate Devin Booker a surefire Hall of Famer following Booker's 24-point performance. Booker scored nine straight points in the final minutes to break a 93-93 tie, during which he also surpassed Steve Nash for third on the franchise's all-time games played list with 745 appearances. Durant praised Booker's ability to navigate screens and make difficult shots.

Durant, who joined the Houston Rockets via trade in 2025, previously spent two and a half seasons playing alongside Booker in Phoenix. Booker's career achievements include leading the Suns to the 2021 NBA Finals, five All-Star selections, and two Olympic gold medals with USA Basketball from Tokyo and Paris.
