Suns’ Devin Booker Breaks Silence on Jersey Number Change
Devin Booker opens up about a notable change as the Suns star prepares for another season in Phoenix.
Devin Booker announced on Monday that he is changing his jersey number from No. 1 to No. 15, marking the end of an 11-season chapter. The switch, made official on Father's Day in June, sees Booker taking a fresh start with the Phoenix Suns. The change isn't easy, as Booker acknowledges, but he finds comfort in the familiarity of No. 15, recalling his time wearing it with Team USA.
The Suns made the decision after Booker's tenure with the team, which saw him become the all-time leading scorer in No. 1. Booker's new number holds potential for more high-scoring nights, and the hope is that it could lead the team to a championship.
