While Devin Booker has been playing on an elite level, he has been blowing up on social media for his petty altercation with the Toronto Raptors’ mascot… Yes, the 25-year-old guard had a little situation with The Raptor back in early January.
Here, have a look at the incident.

LOL I’m loving Book’s crusade against mascots.
This needs to end with the Gorilla fighting all the mascots to protect Book. https://t.co/CH2uX1ry8a

The Suns ended up grabbing a 127-124 lead with Booker dropping 38 points. Maybe, just maybe if Benny the Bull was allowed to distract Devin, could we have seen a different result to the game?
