PHOENIX — For Devin Booker, the No. 15 is more than just digits on the back of a jersey.
“It’s always been a family number,” Booker told his father, Melvin, in a video released by the Phoenix Suns . “Obviously, you wore it, and I looked at you as the blueprint for success. I’ve always said that, so a new chapter to honor you and everything that you’ve done for me.”
