The Phoenix Suns are concerned that Kevin Durant’s ankle injury, which he suffered in Phoenix Wednesday during warmups, could force him to miss the remainder of the regular season. Durant wore a walking boot as he exited the Footprint Center after the Suns’ 132-101 victory against the Thunder. Durant suffered the injury during a routine warmup session before the game, rolling his ankle while attempting a layup. Though he managed to stand up on his own power and even went on to finish his pre-game work, he was eventually taken back to the locker room for treatment. He was later ruled out of the...

Propelled by a stellar 51-point performance from Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns breezed past the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night in a 132-113 victory. Booker received MVP chants throughout the night as Phoenix improved to 15-6 to take sole control of the top spot in the Western Conference. Booker’s massive scoring night was as much a result of efficiency as volume, as the guard, made 20 of 25 field goal attempts and six of seven shots from three-point range. Along with fellow star Deandre Ayton, who scored 30 and earned 14 rebounds, Booker was the only on the floor for 31 minutes due to the lops...

Party like it’s 80 million years ago: the Raptors are going to the playoffs! Devin Booker is probably happy. A 118-108 victory over the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday night clinched the postseason for Toronto, which got 31 points and 13 rebounds from Pascal Siakam and 19 points and 14 rebounds from Scottie Barnes. Chris Boucher scored 18 points, Gary Trent Jr. 14, and Fred VanVleet 12 in the win. Trae Young had 26 points and 15 assists in defeat, while the Hawks lost for the first time in six tries and can now finish no higher than seventh in the conference. Teams finishing in 7-10 in each conference m...

Add Devin Booker to the list of NBA players who are fed up and not taking any more guff from hecklers. During Wednesday’s Suns-Timberwolves game, Booker was dribbling up court and replied to a knucklehead with, “Shut up, p—-.” Booker, who ended with 28 points on the night in Phoenix’ 125-116 win, is the most recent victim of fan abuse. The Lakers’ (for now) Russell Westbrook last week was irate when a fan called him “Westbrick,” and made a thing out of it. Most recently, Portland’s injured bug man Jusuf Nurkic dealt with a hater in his own way—by grabbing the heckler’s phone and tossing it. Ru...

Devin Booker —”homies” with a dinosaur— finished with 28 points, Chris Paul 20 and 11 assists, as the Phoenix Suns rallied to beat the Dallas Mavericks 109-101 Thursday. Phoenix (35-9) swept its season-long, five-game road trip to win its ninth straight against the Mavericks thanks in large part to outscoring them 35-19 in the fourth frame, during which Paul tallied 10 of his points. “Chris knows when to go,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. “He showed that again in the fourth quarter.” Luka Doncic scored 28 points, Jalen Brunson 19, and Kristaps Porzingis 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Mavs (...

Rivalries in sports are nothing new. Usually, though, it’s between two human beings—whereas Devin Booker’s is with a species that went extinct about 75 million years ago. Facing the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night, the Phoenix Suns star found himself squaring off with his opponent’s mascot—a person in a raptor outfit. With 6.5 seconds left in the game, Booker was fouled and went up to shoot his free throws. Scotiabank Arena does not permit fans these days, but the home team still had a trick up its sleeve. The dinosaur mascot went behind the basket to distract him. The shot ended with a little d...

Kevin Durant and Jrue Holiday are often on opposing sides during NBA games, but against team Australia, they joined forces to lead a come-from-behind victory. The 97-78 win puts Team USA in the gold medal game, where the team has the opportunity to win its fourth straight Olympic final. “They came out and hit us with a nice haymaker, and we were able to get back up and get that lead back,” Durant said of the team’s efforts. Australia did, in fact, come out swinging. The Australian squad – led by wily NBA player Patty Mills – secured a 15-point first lead half. Durant then popped off, collectin...

Following a loss to France on Sunday, the U.S. Men’s basketball team found its form Wednesday afternoon during a 120-66 rout against Iran. It was the first win of the Olympics for the men’s basketball team. The victory was only possible after head coach Gregg Popovich made some serious adjustments to the game plan and rotation following Sunday’s loss to France. First and foremost, Popovich changed the starting lineup. He inserted Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker. Both players came off the bench against France after traveling to Japan late following the NBA Finals. The improved lineup brought bala...

The Bucks still have work to do if they hope to win the 2021 NBA Finals, but they took care of a critical first step: cutting Phoenix’s 2-0 lead in half. Milwaukee topped the Suns 120-100 in Game 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 41 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. This effort gave Milwaukee its first win of the series, a happy sight for fans in attendance for the first NBA Finals game in the city since 1974. Jrue Holiday chipped in 21 points. The win stunts the momentum of Phoenix, who sought to jump out to an essentially unbeatable 3-0 series lead. “I said it after last game. Thi...

Paul George was a prominent reason the Clippers fell in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, missing critical free throws late in the final frame of play. However, he avenged his poor performance down the stretch with a masterful output in Game 3, cutting the series lead for the Suns in half. George rebounded by notching 27 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. That effort propelled the Clippers to a 106-92 victory, a win that was effectively necessary to keep their season alive. The win marked the first time the Clippers had ever won a game in the Western Conference Final. Despite missing su...
