It is no secret that Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has been in a relationship with celebrity Kendall Jenner. The pair has apparently been dating for two years now, and there are multiple images of them. However, this personal life was jeopardized on Monday night, when the Suns took on the Chicago Bulls in a high octane clash. In a low blow, a Bulls fan called Kendall ugly.

Looking for redemption from last year, the Phoenix Suns are in devastating touch. Led by Devin Booker and Chris Paul, the franchise is topping the Western Conference, ahead of Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors. In all likelihood, Monty Williams’ men will finish as the top seed in a commanding manner. And ‘Book’, who is averaging close to 26 points this year, will have played a pivotal role.

Bulls fan taunts Devin Booker by calling Kendall Jenner ‘the ugliest’

It was the West’s #1 vs the East’s #3 on Monday when Phoenix traveled to Chicago in a highly anticipated encounter. As expected, the match went down to the wire, finishing 127-124 in favor of the away side. The protagonist? Booker himself. In spite of Chicago’s fourth-quarter onslaught, the defending runners up managed to hold on for a victory. It was the side’s second win on the trot.

Leading from the front, 25-year-old Booker scored 38 points on the night. However, the match witnessed an ugly incident, as reported by Gerald Bourguet. During a free throw, a fan of the home side apparently screamed, “AYY DEVIN! You’re dating the ugliest one!” The incident took place in Q1 before the 3-time All-Star nailed a swish to close out the period.

Those were surely some stinging words from the fan, and totally uncalled for. Nonetheless, it was Booker’s class that prevailed in the end. Can the Suns go all the way in 2022?
