Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has made headlines ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season after details of his new relationship with supermodel Irina Shayk emerged. The news comes as Booker prepares for another season as the face of the Suns following his two-year, $145 million contract extension and amid growing discussion about Phoenix's reshaped roster featuring Jalen Green. According to PEOPLE, Booker and Shayk have been spending time together this summer after being introduced by mutual friends. The relationship arrives during a busy offseason for Booker, who is expected to lead the Suns into training camp while adjusting to Phoenix's evolving offensive identity. A source told PEOPLE, "It's very new, but they like each other a lot."

Nike offered AJ Dybantsa his first sneaker deal at age 16, and he said yes (even though his friend Shaquille O’Neal wanted him at Reebok) because “Nike’s the best marketing sports brand out there. So when they offered me, that was like a no brainer. Being in the same conversation as LeBron, Kobe, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker. Like I said, kind of a no-brainer.” Nike wanted to know all about him. He told them the taxi driver story, told them he was Starboy, told him he already had his own logo, too. “We had our logo and Nike wanted to add something different,” his father Ace said. “I told them you can tweak it all you want, but we own it. So they offered AJ several logos, and he made it clear ‘I want a star on my logo.’ Because when he signs, he signs the ”A" in AJ, with a star. So they came up with that and he was happy.”

Peterson, who averaged 20.2 points last year at Kansas, measured in at the combine at 6-foot-4 ½ without shoes. That’s the exact same size as Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, who has won consecutive MVP awards while running point in Oklahoma City. It’s also the same height as Devin Booker, one of the best shooting guards in the NBA. Peterson, 19, has the size to play either spot effectively. He would either be a big lead guard or a prototype at the two. And despite his familiarity with one over the other, he also understands it's ultimately not up to him. “At the end of the day, whoever wants to pick you is probably going to pick you. If you come in and say I’m a two-guard, I’m familiar with it now. I’ll just make a way,” he said.

The verdict: After entering the fall projected at No. 1, Darryn Peterson struggled to stay healthy and played through a strange season after a battle with cramping. However, NBA teams haven't appeared concerned with his long-term health. His best moments, while further between than he and Kansas hoped, underscored why NBA teams still view him as a future star who executives liken stylistically to Devin Booker. Peterson can be one of the best guards in the league, and after gaining a better understanding of the context, he reclaims the top spot on my board.

Jusuf Nurkic: “Right after arriving at camp, he was extremely negative toward everyone. It didn’t matter whether it was me, Booker, or anyone else. Every practice was full of criticism — ‘you are not good enough’, ‘you should not be playing basketball’. Nobody really took his words seriously at first. We couldn’t understand that at one point he had lost his compass, that he didn’t care how anyone felt, and that is the most important thing in such a team environment. It was no longer about anything. We had a video meeting, 15–18 of us, all the coaches, and Budenholzer was showing clips of how everyone was performing. Booker tried to say something, he listened to him, and then told him, ‘Please do not speak anymore in these meetings so my assistants can talk.’

McDonald’s has been a longtime fixture in the basketball community and culture, now we’re stepping onto the court in a whole new way. Introducing the Nike Book 2 McDonald’s, a limited-edition sneaker designed by Devin Booker with nods to his basketball come-up, and his favorite Sedona *turquoise* Arches – with an exclusive pair available only via Nike Book 2 McDonald’s Friends & Family sweepstakes in the McDonald’s app with purchase of one of the new specialty drinks. The sneakers are a continuation of his signature shoe narrative and love for his home-state of Arizona, and trace Booker’s basketball journey – being a McDonald’s All American alum before becoming an all-star. The colorway takes inspiration from the McDonald’s restaurant in Sedona: the only location in the world with turquoise arches, rather than the standard Golden Arches, out of respect to the natural red rock scenery.

Q. Some film you're watching of guys that you're trying to emulate at the next level? Darryn Peterson: Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, Shai,, Donovan Mitchell, and Dame. Q. What are you taking from them particularly? Peterson: Just ways that they score. They all score in different ways. Let's see how they take space and most of them are getting guarded super hard during their game. How they get easy shots, how they get to free throw line.

Kellan Olson: When it comes to the offensive balance between Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, Brian Gregory "100%" believes they can figure it out with more time next year. Said all 3 will get better this year and have the ability to be "self-aware and self-critical."
