Suns veterans prank rookie star Devin Booker

Feb 9, 2016, 2:25 PM | Updated: 6:59 pm

Devin Booker has been a bright spot for the Phoenix Suns during what has otherwise been a very dark season.

But as great as the rookie has been, it’s important to remember that he is still, in fact, a rookie.

So while the 19-year-old may be averaging 10.6 points per game, is making 41 percent of his 3-point attempts this season and is preparing to compete in the 3-point Shootout during NBA All-Star Weekend, his teammates made sure to remind him of his first-year status.

And the best way to do that, apparently, was to fill Booker’s car with packing popcorn.

A classic prank, and one that Booker seemed to take in stride.

Booker and the Suns will take the court again Wednesday evening for a home game against the Golden State Warriors. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game can be heard on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
