Devin Booker Believes Winning Ways Will Soon Be the New Reality for the Phoenix Suns
April 28, 2025 — Phoenix, AZ — After a disappointing 2024–25 season, Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker remains confident that a turnaround is coming — and fast. Despite the team missing the playoffs and falling short of lofty expectations, Booker believes a new, winning era is just around the corner for the franchise he has loyally represented since 2015.
“This year was frustrating for all of us,” Booker admitted after the season’s end. “We have too much talent not to be better. But talent only gets you so far. We need to build an identity that can carry us every night, not just rely on our names.”
The Suns, with stars like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal alongside Booker, were seen as championship contenders entering the season. But inconsistent play, injuries, and a lack of team chemistry derailed those hopes. Team owner Mat Ishbia did not mince words, calling the season “embarrassing” and vowing big changes this summer.
For Booker, however, the focus is less about overhauling and more about creating a strong foundation. “It’s about culture,” he said. “When we build the right habits, when we trust each other, that’s when Phoenix will become a winning city again.”
Booker’s loyalty is beyond question. This season, he became the Suns’ all-time leading scorer, further cementing his legacy in the Valley. As the franchise searches for a new head coach and retools its roster, Booker’s influence will be central to their future.
“We’ve been close before,” Booker reminded. “It’s not a dream — it’s a reality that’s coming. We’re going to put Phoenix basketball back where it belongs.”
With Booker’s passion leading the way, Suns fans have reason to believe that better days are truly on the horizon.
