Devin Booker Leads Phoenix Suns Into 2025-26 Season Overhaul

Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns' superstar guard and franchise all-time leading scorer, is set to lead the team in the 2025-26 season after a major roster reset that included trading Kevin Durant and buying out Bradley Beal. Booker, who signed a two-year, $145 million extension, is expected to take on increased leadership and ball-handling responsibilities as the Suns aim to build a new identity focused on aggressive defense and dynamic offense despite low playoff projections. Suns owner Mat Ishbia emphasized that this season marks a foundational reset rather than a rebuild, aiming to establish a clear team vision and culture. Booker expressed his commitment to bringing a championship to the Suns, citing unfinished business and the importance of delivering success to the city and organization. The Suns have added younger, athletic players and appointed a new head coach, Jordan Ott, to help develop this refreshed squad. Booker’s consistent high-level play and record earnings underscore his status as a key figure for the franchise’s future amid ongoing organizational changes.
