The Suns’ guard’s professional resume includes a trip to the 2021 NBA Finals as well as a fourth-place finish in MVP voting for the 2021-2022 season.

Booker will be recognized at Arthur Haynes Gymnasium. The event will open to the public at 1:30 p.m. and the ceremony will begin at 2:30 p.m. Entry is free of charge.
