No, Devin Booker did NOT shoot his shot with a famous actress in the middle of the playoffs … but his fans apparently had to make sure for themselves — rushing to “Squid Game” star Hoyeon Jung‘s Instagram and leaving comments after a fake meme made rounds this week.
The Phoenix Suns guard has been the butt of jokes throughout the start of the playoffs … with some hoop fans criticizing Book for shooting just 25% from three in the first two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The trolling continued on Wednesday … when a fake NBA news account shared an altered screenshot of Booker publicly hollering at Hoyeon on her most recent post — just to get rejected.
“check your dm shawty,” the Photoshopped comment read … with Hoyeon’s reply being a brutal, “No ❤️.”
Get it?? Dude can’t score on or off the court??
Naturally, a ton of fans hit up Hoyeon’s profile to see if it was real or not … and left comments of their own asking if Booker deleted the flirty line.
As it turns out, there was nothing there to begin with … and some folks admitted they got duped over it all.
There’s a chance Hoyeon gets confused with all the Booker comments — then again, the actress/model might not even notice … ’cause she has a whopping 19 million followers on the platform.
Booker’s next opportunity to silence the haters is Game 3 on Friday … but chances are, trolls gonna troll no matter how well he does.
