Suns star Devin Booker returns for Game 6 against Pelicans
All-Star guard Devin Booker returned to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night for Game 6 against the New Orleans Pelicans after missing three games because of a strained right hamstri...APRIL 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Suns' Devin Booker to return for Game 6 Booker has missed the past three games due to a strained hamstring.
APRIL 28, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Officially available for Game 6 Booker (hamstring) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pelicans, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Booker was initially ruled out for Thursday's matchup, but he'll be able to suit up as the Suns attempt to advance to the second round. Coach Monty Williams said Booker won't see his normal workload following his three-game absence, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him play a crucial role in the Suns' offense in Game 6 in spite of his minutes restriction.

Expected to play Thursday Booker (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable and is expected to play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Pelicans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Booker suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during Game 2 on April 19 and was initially expected to miss two to three weeks. He had been listed as out for Game 6, but he'll test his injury during pregame warmups Thursday in anticipation of playing. The 25-year-old averaged 28.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 33.0 minutes per game in his first two postseason appearances of the year, and he should play a significant role for Phoenix if he's ultimately cleared to play Thursday.

Could return for Game 7 Booker (hamstring) could return for Thursday's Game 6 or, if necessary, Saturday's Game 7 against the Pelicans, though he's expected to be listed as out for Game 6, Adrian Wojnarow...
Impact Initial reports indicated Booker could miss two to three weeks, which would have put his return sometime into the second round, but he's progressed better than expected and could return later this series. A Game 6 victory by the Suns would certainly help Booker not risk a Game 7 return and potential aggravation of the injury. We'll likely learn more about a potential Game 7 return sometime after Game 6, and it seems likely he'll be on a minutes limit if available for the potentially necessary matchup Saturday.
