While the Houston Rockets reportedly “let it be known” that they have interest in Devin Booker, his future remains with the Suns. “They have a lot of Suns’ draft capital and they’ve let it be known they are Devin Booker fans,” said Tim MacMahon of the Rockets. “There’s no indication Devin Booker, and certainly not the Suns, have any interest in participating in that.” “Devin Booker is staying with the Suns,” said Brian Windhorst. “I don’t see any wavering on that whatsoever. Just to interject.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo passed Dwight Howard in scoring last night for No. 56 all-time.
Devin Booker (28) moved ahead of Tim Hardaway for No. 146.
Also: Kevin Durant is No. 61 in blocks, which is pretty damn high for a perimeter player. – 9:20 AM

Devin Booker has 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-6 from 3, but he’s already committed 5 TOs before halftime and the defense – like pretty much everyone else in this first half – has been rough – 8:29 PM
