Early today, Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer announced the indefinite suspension of star player Devin Booker after he reportedly tested positive for a banned substance.
The team has yet to release an official statement detailing the nature of the substance or the circumstances surrounding the test, but league sources confirm that the NBA has launched a formal investigation. Coach Budenholzer emphasized the importance of maintaining team standards and league integrity, stating, “We hold our players to the highest expectations, both on and off the court.”
Booker, a key figure in the Suns’ lineup and a fan favorite, will remain away from team activities until further notice. His absence could significantly impact the team’s playoff hopes as they near the end of the regular season.
