Booker, 28, becomes Suns' all-time scoring leader

Devin Booker became the Phoenix Suns' all-time leading scorer Monday night at the Portland Trail Blazers, breaking Walter Davis' franchise record of 15,666 points.

Booker, 28, surpassed Davis on a 3-pointer with 7:34 remaining in the third quarter. He reached the milestone in his 10th season and 642nd game for the Suns.

Booker hugged family members at the next timeout and was given a loud ovation by the fans in Portland.

"It means everything," Booker said. "Just being drafted to a franchise that believed in me, taking a chance on me as an 18-year-old kid and going through a rebuild phase and just sticking with it. Keeping my head down. The love and support has always been there. I don't take it from granted.

"I take it seriously putting 'Phoenix' across my chest."

The Blazers had a 120-117 lead when Deni Avdija fouled Booker on a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left in overtime. Booker made the first two free throws but missed the third, which Deandre Ayton grabbed for his 20th rebound as the Trail Blazers held on for a 121-119 win.

Booker finished with 34 points, giving him 15,678 for his career.

"The city loves Devin," Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said of Booker's connection to the franchise and the Phoenix region.

Asked where Booker ranks for him among all the great players he has coached, Budenholzer replied, "He's at the top tonight."

"He's the all-time leading scorer for the Phoenix Suns," Budenholzer added. "He's our guy. He's special. A really, really special night for Book."

Davis played in 766 games (359 starts) for Phoenix from 1977 to 1988. He was a six-time All-Star for the Suns and also played for the Denver Nuggets and the Trail Blazers. Davis died in 2023 at age 69.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
