Available against Minnesota Booker (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Booker has missed the last five games due to a right calf strain, but he was probable for Wednesday's matchup. Bradley Beal (back) and Kevin Durant will also be available, which will mark the first time this season that those three players have been active at the same time. However, it's possible Booker faces a minutes restriction following his absence.

Officially deemed probable Booker (calf) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Booker is expected to return to action Wednesday after missing the previous five games with a right calf strain. The star guard will likely suit up with Bradley Beal (back) and Kevin Durant for the first time this season. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Booker on a minutes restriction.

Returning Wednesday Booker (calf) will return to the lineup Wednesday versus Minnesota, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker's return from a five-game absence is a huge cause for celebration for Phoenix and fantasy managers alike. It's unclear how closely Booker's workload will be monitored, but he'll suit up alongside Bradley Beal (back) and Kevin Durant on Wednesday for the first time in a battle versus the rising Timberwolves.

Officially ruled out Booker (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Booker was considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup and will officially be forced to miss a fifth consecutive game due to his calf injury. He'll have a few days to rest before the Suns face Minnesota on Wednesday, but it's unclear whether he'll be available for that game.

Unlikely to play Sunday Booker (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker will likely miss his fifth straight game Sunday due to a right calf strain. Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Jordan Goodwin will likely continue to see extended minutes in his absence.

Ruled out Friday Booker (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Lakers.

Impact No surprise here, as Booker remains without a timetable to return. We continue to hear from the Suns that Booker is making good progress, but it's clear that they intend to take every precaution. Booker's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Thunder.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still without clear return timeline Suns head coach Frank Vogel said after Wednesday's 116-115 overtime win over the Bulls that Booker (calf) is "making progress," but has "no firm timetable" for a return to game act...

Impact Booker has sat out six of the Suns' last seven games, with the first three absences being the result of left foot and ankle injuries and the last three being due to a right calf strain. On a positive note, Booker hasn't been shut down from activity entirely, as Vogel noted that the veteran guard got in a pregame workout Wednesday. Booker appears unlikely to return to action Friday against the Lakers, but Shams Charania reported Sunday on FanDuel TV's "Run It Back" that the Suns were counting on having both Booker and Bradley Beal (back) available in the "next 7-to-10 days." With Beal making a 24-minute appearance in his Suns debut Wednesday, the Suns are now just waiting on Booker to overcome his own health concern.

Won't play Wednesday Booker (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact As expected, Booker has been ruled out and will miss back-to-back games due to a calf strain. However, the Suns hope to have Booker back in action Friday versus the Lakers or Sunday against the Thunder. Bradley Beal (back) is questionable for Wednesday and could make his season debut, which would help alleviate Booker's absence.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Booker (calf) is unlikely to play Wednesday against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Although Booker will likely miss another game Wednesday, the Suns hope he could be back in action as early as Friday against the Lakers, with Sunday against Oklahoma City and Wednesday against Minnesota considered other options to return. Bradley Beal (back) is also in the mix to return soon, so the Suns are getting closer to seeing their core group of players on the court together. A better idea of Booker's status for Wednesday's matchup should come into focus once the Suns release their injury report, but it sounds more likely that Booker will be in the mix to suit up Friday.

Out Sunday with calf strain The Suns have ruled Booker out for Sunday's game against the Pistons with a right calf strain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Booker had previously missed the front leg of the Suns' back-to-back set Saturday in Philadelphia with a listed left ankle sprain, but he's apparently now tending to a different injury ahead of Sunday's game. Though Suns head coach Frank Vogel expressed optimism Saturday that Booker could be available for the second game of the back-to-back, the new diagnosis for the star guard's injury perhaps puts him at risk of missing additional time beyond Sunday. Bradley Beal (back) has also been ruled out and will have to wait to make his Suns debut, so look for Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen to serve as Phoenix's starters in the backcourt once again Sunday.

Suns vs. 76ers: Devin Booker's Playing Status on Saturday Will Devin Booker face the 76ers on Saturday?

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Won't play Saturday Booker (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday with an ankle injury. Eric Gordon and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Booker's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Detroit.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Booker is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to an ankle injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker missed three straight games due to a toe injury but returned to action Thursday and nearly posted a triple-double, logging 31 points (10-19 FG), 13 assists and nine rebounds in 35 minutes. However, it appears he also picked up an ankle injury during the contest, though the extent of the issue remains unclear. If Booker joins Bradley Beal (back) on the sideline again, Eric Gordon, Jordan Goodwin and Nassir Little would be candidates for increased roles.

Victor Wembanyama dazzles vs. Suns, shows why the hype is real

Devin Booker with 31 PTS, 13 AST, and 9 REB against the Spurs on 11-2-23. | Phoenix Suns

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Hits for team-high 31 in return Booker notched 31 points (10-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and 13 assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 132-121 loss to the Spurs.

Impact After missing the prior three games due to a toe injury, Booker returned to the court with a vengeance, although his big double-double wasn't a match for Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's 38 points. The 27-year-old guard has topped 30 points in both games he's played this season, but as yet Phoenix hasn't been able to deploy its new Big Three of Kevin Durant, Booker and offseason acquisition Bradley Beal (back) at the same time, so it's not clear what the production for the two holdovers will look like once the lineup is at full strength.

Good to go Devin Booker (toe) will return to action Thursday against the Spurs, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Booker has missed the past three games for the Suns, but he's been ramping up his activity in recent practices without any setbacks. Although Booker will play, there's no word regarding any minute restrictions. Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen and Josh Okogie are likely to lose some touches with Booker back in the mix.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy Thursday Booker (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Booker is questionable Thursday after missing the previous three games with a toe injury. With Bradley Beal (back) already ruled out, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen will likely remain in the starting lineup if Booker is ruled out against San Antonio.
