BREAKING: Devin Booker’s Mother Reportedly Facing Serious Health Issue
Grand Rapids, Michigan — 30 minutes ago
The family of NBA star Devin Booker has announced that his mother, Veronica Gutierrez, is currently facing a serious health condition, according to sources close to the family. The news broke early this morning from Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the Phoenix Suns guard was born and raised.
Gutierrez, 55, has been a central figure in Booker’s life and upbringing. A former cosmetologist of Mexican-American heritage, she raised Devin largely as a single mother while his father, former professional basketball player Melvin Booker, pursued his athletic career abroad.
Booker, 27, has reportedly stepped away from team activities to be at his mother’s side during this difficult time. No specific details regarding Gutierrez’s condition have been disclosed at this time, and the family has requested privacy as they navigate the situation.
Fans, teammates, and fellow NBA players have begun posting messages of support across social media platforms, rallying around the All-Star guard during this personal challenge.
Devin Booker, a three-time NBA All-Star and one of the faces of the Phoenix Suns franchise, has often credited his mother for instilling the discipline and work ethic that has shaped his professional career.
The Suns organization has not yet released an official statement.
