If you've noticed Devin Booker being a little quieter on the court recently, there might be a reason why. Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer reportedly "shocked" Booker with a request to talk less during games, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
Per Haynes, Budenholzer called the star Suns guard into his office a few weeks ago to tell him that he was "being too vocal" on the court and during huddles, and asked him to "tone it down" in order to let the coach speak.
The report puts into context the comments that Booker made after the Suns' loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday, where the guard advocated for "constant communication" as something that Phoenix has been missing.
