Booker has now only made the All-Star Game four times in his 10 NBA seasons. He is averaging 25.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 44.4% from the floor and 34.1% from 3-point range in 41 games. The Suns' lowly 24-22 record made it difficult for them to have two All-Star selections.
