The Phoenix Suns failure against the Dallas Mavericks will be a painful memory for Devin Booker and the rest of the players on the team, but so far the most important thing for him is his contract with the Suns.
Booker made his NBA debut in 2015 in what was a good season for him as a pro, 51 games started, and his lowest PPG in his pro career with 13.8 points per game. After that first season Booker has never stopped averaging over 21 points per season on average.
The Phoenix Suns played in the last two postseasons, during the 2021 playoffs Booker averaged his highest PPG with 27.3 points per game and 90% free throws in what were 22 games during the playoffs.
What does Devin Booker need to get his $211m contract extension?
Basically, Booker must be named All-NBA team for his contract extension to be activated. It is highly probable that he will enter that list since he was fourth in the MVP voting of the season, therefore that is an indication that his extension could become a reality.
