Over his last 19 games, Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker is averaging 30.3 points. During that stretch, Booker has two games with 40 or more points and two games with 50 or more.
Booker has always been able to score the ball at will, but the star guard points to improved health as the biggest reason he's scoring the ball even easier as of late.
“Just health, man,” Booker said, via Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. “That’s what I’ve been asking for all season. Just be 100 percent healthy and as an athlete, that’s when you’re at your best ability. When you’re going through games and you don’t want to make this certain movement because you’re scared of what is going to happen, it’s a totally different game.
“I have a free mind out there and like I said, doing everything I possibly can possibly do to help this team win and try to lead by example.”
Devin Booker missed a bunch of games earlier in the season because of lower body ailments.
The 22-year-old has played in 19-straight games and is showing the league he's one of the most lethal scorers in the NBA.
Overall on the season for the Suns, Booker is putting up 26.5 points while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 32.7 percent from the 3-point line. Booker ranks ninth in the league in scoring.
