Devin Booker Breaks Silence After Suns' Playoff Exit

It's been days since the Phoenix Suns last took the court, losing in humiliating fashion to the Denver Nuggets to again exit earlier than anticipated in the postseason.

Typically, reporters are able to speak with Booker after a game in some fashion. Most nights the team makes him available at the podium for a press conference, but if not there's the opportunity to speak with him at his locker.

However, Booker didn't speak following Game 6 - nor did he speak the day after at exit interviews.

Now, the Suns' shooting guard has finally broken his silence after a two-worded tweet that reads "36 unbothered" last night, perhaps an ode to him (No. 1) and Kevin Durant (No. 35) saying they were fine.

Both Booker and Durant have been in headlines recently after the dismissal of Monty Williams, as NBA insider Shams Charania says both star players knew the fate of their head coach.

“I’m told unequivocally this was an organizational decision from owner Mat Ishbia,” Charania told Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta. “I do believe the top [players], Durant, Booker - these are all guys that were all involved during the process. That's the business of basketball now. You have new ownership … the focus now is trying to win a championship."

Now, the Suns are in search of their next leader after having Monty at the helm since 2019.

However things shake out in Phoenix's coaching search - plus an offseason that will again be fueled by rumors - Booker and Durant are unbothered.
