Devin Booker is one of the highest-rated young stars in the league. A generational scorer, he has led the Phoenix Suns to a 9-5 record so far this season. However, it’s not just his mesmerizing scoring ability that makes him popular. Notably, the 26-year-old is also dating one of the most popular supermodels in the world, Kendall Jenner. But recent news might make things a little awkward for the Suns’ All-Star guard.
Jenner is a popular figure among NBA fans. It stems mostly from her relationship history before Booker. Notably, the highest-paid supermodel has been linked with the likes of Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, and a few other NBA stars in the past. However, it seems she has found a special connection with the former NBA finalists as the couple has been together for over two years.

Their relationship only had a brief drama when the pair split up for a few months. However, trade business might add some awkwardness for D-Book. The Suns’ current trade target, Kyle Kuzma has some history with his current love interest.
Devin Booker may have to deal with Kendall Jenner’s rumored ex
Two seasons after making it to the Finals, the Phoenix Suns want to finish the job. After an impressive start to the season, the franchise is looking to make a valuable addition. According to Shams Charania, there are four main players on their radar. Those are Harrison Barnes, John Collins, KJ Martin, and Kyle Kuzma.
After her split with Ben Simmons, Kendall Jenner was spotted hanging out with Kuz. However, it is reported that the former Los Angeles Lakers star and supermodel never shared a romantic interest. The pair shared a common circle which was the reason they used to hang out. Hence, Devin Booker might not have to go through any uncomfortable interactions.
Shams says the Suns have reportedly shown trade interest in John Collins, Kyle Kuzma, Harrison Barnes and KJ Martin. https://t.co/B3gCADzUcQ

Keeping the personal aspect aside, when it comes to basketball, Kuzma might prove an ideal fit for title contenders such as the Suns. With a relatively young core, Phoenix’s playstyle is arguably based on modern basketball. This season, Kuzma has struggled to find his range. However, he has proven to be a capable shooter while a part of the Washington Wizards team. He has averaged 18.5 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 3.3 APG so far this season.
Moreover, he can block shots due to his size, strengthening the Suns’ defense. The 27-year-old also makes an effort to move off the ball, a skill that will possibly bring out the best in Chris Paul. All his weapons arguably cater to the system established by the Suns. That’s the reason bringing in the 2020 NBA champion might prove to be the piece the Phoenix Suns are missing.
