Devin Booker does not appear to be taking offense to the recent comments from his teammate that brought up some potential uneasiness.
Pheonix Suns veteran guard Eric Gordon recently shared his frustration about how his role in the team's offense has seemed to shrink in recent games.

During Friday's loss to the Sacramento Kings, Gordon was on the court for 25 minutes. But he only attempted two shots from the field, missing both and finishing the game with zero points.
He added that he would speak with first-year Suns coach Frank Vogel about creating a plan to ramp up his involvement on the offensive end of the floor.

Meanwhile, Booker recently told reporters that Gordon's public expression of his unhappiness was not taken personally by any of the Suns players.
