Devin Booker became the all-time leading scorer in Phoenix Suns franchise history when he knocked down a 3-pointer in the third quarter of a meeting with the host Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
The trey with 7:34 left in the quarter gave Booker 24 points for the game and 15,668 for his career, two more than Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Walter Davis scored for Phoenix.
Booker, a four-time All-Star, hugged family members at the next timeout and was given a loud ovation by the fans in Portland.
Booker, 28, reached the milestone in his 10th season and 642nd game for the Suns.
Davis played in 766 games (359 starts) for Phoenix from 1977-88. He was a six-time All-Star for the Suns and also played for the Denver Nuggets and Trail Blazers. Davis died in 2023 at age 69.
