NBA Commissioner Adam Silver named Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker as the replacement to Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis for the 2021 All-Star Game in Atlanta.
Booker has earned his second selection in a row, again getting the nod by replacing an injured player. Phoenix’s guard is averaging a team-high 24.7 points as well as 4.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds this season. Booker joins teammate Chris Paul in the Western Conference’s reserves, making it the first time the Suns have multiple All-Stars in the same season since 2009-10.
After the first 30 games of the 2020-21 campaign, Phoenix ranked fourth in the West with a 20-10 record that is good for their best start to a season since 2007-08.
