When Devin Booker did not see his name on the All-Star roster, dark and gloomy clouds formed over the Valley of the Sun and didn’t move. Fast forward two weeks: the basketball gods have intervened to correct this injustice, parted the clouds with a beaming ray of sunshine, and awarded Devin Booker his much-deserved spot in the All-Star game, making him the first player on the Phoenix Suns to earn that honor since Steve Nash represented the team in 2012.
And how did the basketball deities part said clouds? By injuring a guy they have already blessed mightily, Damian Lillard.
