Team USA superstar guard Devin Booker and American artistic gymnastics sensation Suni Lee recently linked up at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Their photo together sparked entertaining NBA fan reactions, with many speculating about the duo potentially dating.
Amid his quest for his second Olympic gold medal, Booker was among Team USA's men's basketball players who supported Lee this summer. She finished with three medals, earning gold with the U.S. women's gymnastics team and bronze in the all-around and uneven bars competitions.
During Lee's first bronze medal victory on Thursday, Booker was in attendance to cheer on her and fellow American gymnastics phenom Simone Biles. He later shared the experience on his IG stories.

The four-time NBA All-Star shouted out Lee in another IG story on Monday, sharing a pic of him with his arm around her. Booker tagged Lee with a goat emoji, seemingly signifying her status as one of the U.S.'s GOAT gymnasts, with Lee reposting it on her IG stories.
Fans on X/Twitter quickly began speculating about Booker and Lee dating, with some encouraging the former to pursue her.
"He thinks he's slick, LOL," @damuuu98 said.
"Devin Booker, you gotta get this one, bro," @archuleta_cody wrote.
"Bag for me, Book," @73Peat said.
"F**king GOAT," @azdevv4 said.
"This is how I find out she's cheating on me, damn," @MaskedupInAtl wrote.
Meanwhile, one fan suggested that Lee would be a better match for Booker than his ex-girlfriend, model/media personality Kendall Jenner. The couple reportedly dated for nearly two years before breaking up in 2022.
"Much better [than] Kendall," @AegonSturluson said.
However, there has been no indication thus far that Booker and Lee are dating.
