In a shocking development for the NBA and Phoenix Suns fans, All-Star shooting guard Devin Booker has been suspended indefinitely after testing positive for a banned substance, league officials confirmed just minutes ago.
According to initial reports, the test results were returned earlier today, and the NBA immediately notified the Suns organization. Details about the specific substance have not yet been made public, pending further investigation and confirmation from the league’s anti-doping department.
Booker, 29, has been one of the cornerstones of the Suns’ success in recent years, leading the team in scoring and helping Phoenix reach the NBA Finals in 2021. His sudden suspension leaves the Suns without their top offensive weapon just weeks into the 2025–26 NBA season.
Neither Booker nor his representatives have issued a statement yet, but sources close to the player indicate he plans to appeal the decision.
The Phoenix Suns organization released a brief statement:
“We are aware of the situation involving Devin Booker and are fully cooperating with the NBA. We will have no further comment at this time.”
Fans and analysts alike have expressed shock across social media, with many calling for transparency from the league as more information emerges about the nature of the violation.
