DEVIN BOOKER NEWS

Won't play Sunday Booker (ankle) is out Sunday versus Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker and Royce O'Neale collided on defense in Friday's loss to Houston, although O'Neale emerged no worse for the wear and will be active Sunday. Booker, on the other hand, hobbled straight to the locker room after a full-extension twist of his right ankle. No further updates have been provided on severity, but Booker's right foot and calf caused him issues throughout the opening weeks of the season, so concern could be warranted. Tuesday against Denver marks his next opportunity to take the court. Booker's injury is the latest obstacle in Phoenix's star trio, rounded out by Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant, suiting up together -- which has happened on just 23 occasions thus far.

Impact Booker stepped on Royce O'Neale's ankle and was in immediate pain. He had a heavy limp on his way to the locker room, and he didn't return for the final minute. The Suns play again Sunday versus the Thunder, but it remains to be seen if Booker will be able to play. If not, the Suns will need guys like O'Neale and Josh Okogie to step up, and it's possible that Eric Gordon (groin) could be ready to return.

Impact Booker received a technical foul during a timeout and after Cade Cunningham shot a free throw, both for arguing with the referees. Suns coach Frank Vogel also received a technical foul.

Team-high 32 in Saturday's loss Booker posted 32 points (11-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 113-112 loss to Golden State.

Impact After sitting out the Suns' game Thursday with a sore hip. Booker was his usual productive self in his return.

Will return Saturday Booker (hip) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.comreports.

Impact After missing Thursday's game against the Jazz, Booker is no longer on the injury report. Eric Gordon started in his place for that game, scoring 19 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal.

Won't play Thursday Booker (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The good news is that Booker is only being listed as "day-to-day," so there's a chance he'll return to the floor for Saturday's game in Golden State. Bradley Beal (ankle) is headed for a game-time call, and if he's forced to join Booker on the sidelines, that would create a lot of opportunity for Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Booker is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz due to left hip soreness.

Impact Despite being absent from the injury report all day, Booker is now in danger of missing his first contest since Dec. 1 on Thursday. If Booker is ultimately ruled out, Eric Gordon will likely replace him in the starting five.

Pours in 32 points Booker accumulated 32 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound and four assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Booker made plays all over the court on night where Phoenix's elites kept the ball for themselves. The Suns only recorded 17 assists in the contest but shot 50.6 percent as a team, indicating a formula that favored on-the-ball playmaking over ball distribution. Booker certainly took matters into his own hands often, and playing alongside Bradley Beal has allowed Booker to be more aggressive. Booker has averaged 30.8 points, 6.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 15 games since Beal's return.
