It’s hard to imagine anyone taking the news of famous wing restaurant Hooters preparing to file for bankruptcy harder than Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker.
A 13-year-old post on X (formerly Twitter) informing the world of his plans to head to the commercial sports bar with his friends follows the four-time NBA All-Star everywhere he goes.
I'm thinking hooters tonight with the fellas.

But once news broke that Hooters would soon go out of business, Booker, who was 15-years-old at the time of the post, spun back with a perfectly timed reference to his old post begging his favorite restaurant not to go.
Plz don’t go @Hooters

Booker’s star Suns teammate Kevin Durant added to the joke with an A.I. generated image of the two sitting at a table at the restaurant with Hooters shirts on.
