Devin Booker Admits “Unfinished Business” Amid Potential Pressure From Suns Owner

Devin Booker still remembers the sting of 2021. Two wins away from a championship, only to watch the Bucks celebrate on Phoenix’s floor. That kind of heartbreak doesn’t fade, but fuels. And as the Suns tipped off Media Day this week on September 24, Booker made it clear that the fire is still burning.

“From being at the bottom and… almost getting the job done, I have unfinished business here,” Booker said. “It’s my job as a leader, my responsibility as a franchise player to communicate to everybody the importance of basketball in this town.” But leadership in Phoenix is not only about locker-room speeches.

It comes with proving a point. Team owner Mat Ishbia has repeatedly emphasized his belief that moving on from Kevin Durant was the right decision. That puts pressure squarely on Booker to show this franchise didn’t trade away a superstar for nothing. The Suns’ new era rests on his shoulders. His words echo accountability, but the question is whether the roster can deliver on it.

Booker knows the city is watching, and Ishbia has already drawn his line in the sand. What happens next, though? Well, come back here to find out!
