Durant cheered by fans, says Suns have 'all the pieces'
Kevin Durant watched the Phoenix Suns from afar over the past few years, admiring the budding nucleus of Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre AytonFEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pours in 32 in 29 minutes Booker finished Tuesday's 120-109 win over the Kings with 32 points (13-20 FG, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes.
Impact Booker has played under 30 minutes in each of his first three games since returning from a six-week absence due to a left groin strain, but the limited playing time didn't stop him from turning in an efficient scoring performance Tuesday, though it was lacking in its usual production from three-point range. He could be on a light minutes limit once again Thursday against the Clippers, but look for Booker to be free of restrictions following the All-Star break.

Not on injury report Booker (groin) is not on the injury report for Friday's matchup against the Pacers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Booker sat out Thursday's loss to the Hawks to manage his left groin injury, but as expected, he'll be back in the Suns' starting lineup for the second half of the team's back-to-back set Friday. He returned to action Tuesday following nearly a two-month absence due to the groin issue and posted 19 points (6-15 FG), six assists and four rebounds in 26 minutes. He was clearly shaking off some rust, but it shouldn't be long until the sharpshooter returns to his usual workload.

Won't play Thursday Booker will miss Thursday's game versus the Hawks to manage a left groin injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker returned to action Tuesday after more than a month on the sidelines and displayed some rust, knocking down only six of his 15 shot attempts and going just 2-of-8 from beyond the arc. He'll take a night off to rest up in the first game of a back-to-back set Thursday but seems likely to retake the floor Friday at Indiana.

Supplies balanced showing in return Booker (groin) recorded 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists and four rebounds in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 win over Brooklyn.
Impact Suiting up for the first time since Christmas Day, Booker was on a playing-time restriction but nonetheless turned in a solid performance aside from some poor shooting from the field and free-throw line, which isn't unexpected given his long layoff. Booker may be under a restriction for the next game or two, but it likely won't be long before he resumes playing around 35 minutes per contest.

Set to play Tuesday Booker (groin) will play Tuesday against the Nets, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Impact Coach Monty Williams said Monday that he expected Booker to play against Brooklyn, and the shooting guard has indicated that he'll be available for the first time since Christmas Day. The 26-year-old averaged 27.1 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.6 minutes per game over 29 appearances prior to his absence but will likely face a significant minutes restriction Tuesday. The shooting guard will likely reclaim a starting role against the Nets, but Damion Lee and Torrey Craig could still see slightly increased run if Booker is eased into action.

Expected to return Tuesday Suns head coach Monty Williams said Monday that he expects Booker (groin) to play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Booker looks on track to suit up for the first time Christmas Day, and he'll presumably have a minutes restriction in place in his return from a six-week absence. With Booker expected back, Torrey Craig will likely shift to the second unit, and there will be less usage for Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson.
