Devin Booker was upset with the Suns for waiving Tyler Ulis without first telling the franchise player.
Want a glimpse of their bond?
Watch this 2017 video, recently published by TMZ:
TMZ:We’re told Tyler was trying to hold the elevator for his friends when another group of guys tried to get on.
When Tyler continued to hold it ... they took offense and a scuffle broke out.
A short time later, Ulis’ friends -- including Suns superstar Booker -- took the elevator to the scene of the fight and found the men who attacked Ulis. Another fight broke out, Ulis threw punches.
Booker -- who covered his face with a bandana -- does not appear to hit anyone.

The Suns say they are looking into the incident.
TMZ:
A source close to the Suns administration tells us, “While these guys know they are always potential targets for others trying to cause trouble, it’s hard to blame them for defending their friend who is on the bad end of a 4 on 1 attack.”
It sounds as if the Suns have already made up their mind and are saying they’re looking into the incident because that’s what they’re supposed to say.
Ulis – who was at the heart of the fight – is already gone. Booker, who signed a max extension this month, was involved but not much more than that.
The Suns should investigate further to better understand the situation, but based on that video and report, it’s hard to see anything for the team to do at this point.
