Devin Booker shoots the ball against the Charlotte Hornets on Dec. 19, 2021.

Devin Booker is back for the team with the best record in the NBA.

The two-time All-Star played for the first time in nearly three weeks in the Suns’ Sunday-night 137-106 blowout of the Charlotte Hornets, helping improve the team’s league-best record to 24-5.

Booker was one of nine players to score in double figures, finishing with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes of action.

The 25-year-old guard suffered a left hamstring injury in Phoenix’ nationally televised win over the then-first-place Golden State Warriors on Nov. 30. The victory was part of a franchise-record 18-game win streak, one that ended two games later when the Booker-less Suns lost to the Warriors in San Francisco.

The defending Western Conference champion Suns went 5-2 without Booker. That, combined with Golden State losing four of its last 10, has seen the Suns rise to the top of the standings entering Sunday’s game.

Now in his seventh season, all with the Suns, Booker is averaging 23.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting a career-best 40.3% from 3-point range.
