The NBA announced its 2024-2025 All-NBA teams on Friday, decided by a media panel of 100 voters, and Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker received two third-team votes.

Booker was one of nine players to receive votes but fall short of the top 15 honorees.

Fellow Suns star Kevin Durant was ineligible since he missed out of the 65-game minimum (he played 62 games).

League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City), Nikola Jokic (Denver), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee) and Jayson Tatum (Boston) were all unanimous first-team selections.

Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell rounded out the top five, beating out Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James.

Booker received consideration after finishing 12th in the NBA in scoring with 25.6 points per game. His shooting percentages from the floor (46.1%) and beyond the arc (33.3%) took a dive from his previous five seasons. Booker is a two-time All-NBA player, making the first-team in 2021-22.

When Smith started playing some good ball, the Suns promptly traded him.
