“I didn’t know that.”

“He did everything today.” Monty Williams on Devin Booker for today’s practice.
So when I asked him if he’d be available Sunday vs. #Hornets, he repeated, “He did everything today.” #Suns pic.twitter.com/DLLsQVsdic – 2:34 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin

DeRozan, Booker, Mitchell, Beal… all mentioned as first team All-NBA candidates by @Bill Simmons and Jackie Mac and never once said Paul George. (I know, don’t listen) – 10:36 AM Mike Lynch @SportInfo247
Finished The City Game by @MGoodmanBooks last night. Highly recommend. An incredible story full that just happens to involve hoops. Gambling, racial justice, mobsters, police corruption, political intrigue, the Catholic Church, this book touches them all

Without Devin Booker and 3 other rotation players, the Suns are gonna keep everyone at 28 minutes or less tonight in a double-digit win.
James Jones’ changed roster construction in Phoenix so drastically compared to just a few years ago – 11:11 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Seeing Dario Saric on bench, crazy #Suns are 22-5, been up 22 on Wiz and he’s been out all year.
Ayton 8 games. Booker 7.
Other teams w/o superstars. Kawhi with Clippers.
Murray, Porter Jr. in Denver.
Klay still out for Warriors.
LeBron missed time. Doncic, too, but 22-5? – 10:35 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
“He looks like he’s getting back. I know he’s on the court now, but if anything, just take his time. He’s got to keep taking his time. There’s no need to rush it. Got a long season.” Cameron Payne.

The Suns’ second-leading scorer in the six games Devin Booker has missed is … Cam Johnson at 14.8 points per game. Johnson is 19-of-43 (44.2%) from 3-point range over that stretch. – 8:33 PM Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Devin Booker is out here in his usual time slot and putting the time in to get back. Not his usual pregame work, with most of it going through shots off ball screens. Did about a half-hour on his own after shootaround earlier today and 15 more now.

Monty Williams said Devin Booker was the catalyst on the bench in Portland on Tuesday when it came to motivating the team. Williams described Booker as “phenomenal” with that and said as the coach he didn’t have to do much pumping up the guys. – 7:30 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin

Book getting some work in after shootaround. He’s out tonight, but it’s encouraging to see him doing on-court stuff again.

Just got “By the Grace of the Game” for a present and have read the foreward by Ray Allen, the intro and first chapter. The book, penned by Dan Grunfeld, is exceptional. If you’re looking for a present for a friend — or yourself — I highly recommend this sure-to-be bestseller. – 12:42 PM Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
Earlier this year, Mirin Fader writes a book about Giannis, then he wins the title and Finals MVP.
Today, Mirin publishes a feature about Austin Reaves, then he hits a game-winning jumper for the Lakers.
WHAT! @MirinFader, who are you writing about next? theringer.com/nba/2021/12/15… – 10:35 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
