Devin Booker is an American professional basketball player known for his role as a shooting guard with the Phoenix Suns in the NBA. He gained national attention in 2017 when he scored 70 points in a single game, becoming one of only a few players in NBA history to reach that milestone.
Devin Armani Booker was born on October 13, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was introduced to basketball at a young age by his father, Melvin Booker, a former professional player who had an impressive college career at the University of Missouri. Melvin’s experience and mentorship played a significant role in shaping Devin's early skills and passion for the game.
Booker was selected by the Phoenix Suns as the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Shortly after signing his rookie contract, he participated in the NBA Summer League, where he averaged 15.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, showcasing his scoring and court awareness.
In his rookie season (2015–16), Booker quickly made an impact, notably scoring 21 points against the Sacramento Kings in January 2016. He became one of the youngest players in NBA history to record a double-double, following the footsteps of notable stars like LeBron James. By season's end, he was averaging 13.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game and earned a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Booker’s development accelerated in his second season, during which he averaged 22.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. The highlight of his early career came on March 24, 2017, when he scored 70 points in a game against the Boston Celtics, becoming the youngest player ever to score 70 in a single game and one of only six players in league history to do so. This performance cemented his status as one of the NBA’s elite young scorers.
Devin Booker has established himself not only on the court but also as a marketable figure off of it. As of recent estimates, his net worth is approximately $30 million, primarily generated from his lucrative NBA contracts and notable endorsement deals with brands such as Nike. His continued performance and visibility in the league have made him one of the prominent faces of the Phoenix Suns franchise.
In the past, Devin Booker was linked to Jordyn Woods, a model and social media personality known for her work with the Ford Modeling Agency and her appearance on the reality TV series Life of Kylie. Woods, a close friend of Kylie Jenner, rose to fame through Instagram, where she gained millions of followers.
Reports suggest that Booker and Woods began dating in mid-2018 and were first seen publicly on a double date with Ben Simmons and Kendall Jenner. The relationship was short-lived, however, and the two eventually went their separate ways. Woods later entered a relationship with another NBA player, Tristan Thompson.
