The stars aligned for Phoenix Suns teammates Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to make a friendly wager on some playoff football.
Durant is a Washington, D.C. native and fan of the Commanders. Booker is a Michigan native and fan of the Detroit Lions. Their teams are set to play Saturday in Detroit in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs — hours before the Suns are at Little Caesars Arena to play the Detroit Pistons.
Of course Durant and Booker are going to have a stake on the game. “For sure,” Booker said when asked if there would be a bet. “Whatever he wants to do.”
Durant said he’d hit Booker on the side to figure something out. “You don’t even gotta worry about that,” he said.
With the Suns playing at 4 p.m. and Commanders-Lions starting at 8 p.m., the two might even be able to watch in person.
The banter continued after a recent game at Charlotte.
“I’m going to hit him on the side,” a smiling Durant said about Booker. “Y’all don’t even got to worry about that and we’ll see what happens this week, but I’m excited we get to play in the playoffs against a great team and we’re actually going to be in that city. It’s going to be dope.”
The Lions received a bye for having the NFC’s best record at 15-2. The Commanders finished the regular season 12-5.

The Lions and Commanders are set to face off this weekend, but there’s more than just pride on the line for two NBA superstars. Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets and Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns have made a friendly wager on the outcome of the game.
Durant, a noted Lions fan, has put his faith in the team from Detroit, while Booker, a die-hard Commanders supporter, is confident in his team’s ability to come out on top.
The stakes? The loser will have to wear the opposing team’s jersey during warm-ups at their next NBA game. Both players have been talking trash leading up to the matchup, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already highly anticipated game.
Who will come out on top in this friendly bet? Lions fans are hoping their team can secure a victory, while Commanders supporters are confident in their squad’s abilities. Either way, it’s sure to be an entertaining game with a little extra incentive for Durant and Booker.
