Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker poured in 40 points to hand Philadelphia their first loss of the season Monday night.
The former Kentucky Wildcat eclipsed the 6,000 point mark of his career late in the fourth quarter, making him the 8th youngest (23 years, 5 days old) player in NBA history to reach 6,000 points.
Booker’s 40 point performance was efficient, as he knocked down 15-of-19 shot attempts, including a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line.
Over the last five games, where the Suns have won 4 of 5, Booker is averaging 28.6 points per game.
The 2015 lottery pick has helped the Suns get off to a 5-2 start this season.
