DBook was seen trash-talking to Jeremy Sochan during the game. It didn’t end well for the Suns and Booker, as Victor Wembanyama dropped a monstrous performance and helped his team win the game 132-121.
Booker has played 2 games out of the starting 5 fixtures. In those two games, he was instrumental in his team’s offensive front alongside two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant. Booker averages 31.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists.
