Devin Booker is making a jersey number change after spending his entire NBA career in No. 1 with the Phoenix Suns.
Booker has worn No. 1 since being selected by Phoenix in the 2015 NBA Draft. The number also followed him from his lone college season at Kentucky, making it closely associated with his rise from one-and-done prospect to franchise cornerstone in Phoenix.
A familiar number left behind
The change marks the end of a long-running look for one of the Suns’ most recognizable players. Booker’s No. 1 jersey has been a fixture in Phoenix for nearly a decade, spanning his development into one of the league’s premier guards and a central figure for the franchise.
While the Suns star is moving to a new number, the shift is rooted in a personal connection reflected in the “like father, like son” theme surrounding the decision.
