Booker signed a four-year, $214 million supermax extension with the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. This is a no-brainer for the Suns, who will lock in their franchise cornerstone through his prime years. The 2015 first-round pick has developed into one of the league's best two-guards, and he's coming off of a fourth straight season averaging at least 25 points per game. An All-Star in each of the last three seasons, Booker was a First Team All-NBA selection in 2021-22.

Booker was named to the All-NBA First Team on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Booker has made three All-Star teams, but this marks his first All-NBA selection. Phoenix finished with the best record in the NBA (64-18) while Booker averaged 26.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.5 minutes across 68 appearances. During his 10 playoff appearances, he averaged 23.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists.

Booker closed Sunday's 123-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 11 points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes. This was a rough way for Booker's season to end, as the Suns fell behind early, scored only 10 points in the second quarter and never recovered. Booker's 11 points were his fewest in any game since Feb. 5, and he failed to hit a single three-pointer for the second straight contest after also struggling in Game 6 (19 points, 6-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt). At age 26, Booker is entering the prime years of his career, but with 37-year-old Chris Paul as his co-star, and Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns up in the air, it's possible that Phoenix has squandered its best chance to win a title with its current core.

Booker finished with 28 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in Tuesday's 110-80 win over the Mavericks. Booker helped Phoenix take a resounding 3-2 lead in the series and tied Dallas' Luka Doncic to lead all scorers. The three-time All-Star has put up 28-plus points in three of his last four games while shooting 55.5 percent from three-point range in those contests.

Booker logged 35 points (10-22 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 12-13 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block over 43 minutes during Sunday's 111-101 loss to the Mavericks. Booker was hot from the start and drew 13 trips to the free-throw line en route to his third 30-plus point outing of the postseason. However, the All-Star guard was the lone bright spot for the Suns, who dropped a second consecutive game in Dallas. Since returning from a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue, Booker has averaged 26.5 points, 5.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds over the last four games. He'll look to maintain his strong production during Game 5 on Tuesday.
