Through the first 673 appearances of his career, the 10-year veteran logged 24.4 points, 5.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
Over 47 career playoff appearances, Booker has averaged 28 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals, logging an NBA-best 33.7 points per game during the 2022-23 postseason.
