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.

Kevin Durant offers high praise for Victor Wembanyama after Suns-Spurs games: 'He's gonna be a problem' | Sporting News "He's different, man," Durant said of Wembanyama. "He's long, athletic, mobile. He can shoot it. He's got skills. He's tough."

Devin Booker - 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.

Bradley Beal - Remains out Saturday Beal (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Beal has been dealing with back spasms since just before the start of the regular season and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game to begin the 2023-24 campaign. The Suns also play Sunday against Detroit, and it's not yet clear whether Beal will be able to make his season debut in the second half of the back-to-back set.

Josh Okogie - Held in check Thursday Okogie accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two steals in 12 minutes during Thursday's 132-121 loss to the Spurs.
Impact The Suns fell behind early in Thursday's matchup, and Okogie saw a reduced role in the blowout. While he made an impact defensively with two steals, he saw minimal shot volume and was held scoreless for the first time this season. He averaged 11.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game over the first four matchups of the year, so better days will likely be ahead when the Suns are playing in more competitive games.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Eubanks - Scores 13 off bench Eubanks closed Thursday's 132-121 loss to San Antonio with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes.
Impact Eubanks saw his highest minutes total of the young season during Thursday's matchup since the Suns fell behind early. He performed well with his uptick in playing time, scoring in double figures for the second time in the last three games. The 26-year-old also had more minutes than Jusuf Nurkic, who played 19 minutes. While Eubanks has seen ample playing time early in the year off the bench, it's unclear whether he'll be able to consistently outpace Nurkic in playing time during more competitive matchups.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keita Bates-Diop - Scores in double figures Bates-Diop supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and two rebounds in 18 minutes during Thursday's 132-121 loss to San Antonio.
Impact The Suns fell behind early in Thursday's matchup, and although they mounted a comeback bid in the second half, Bates-Diop saw extended run for the first time this season after appearing in just one of the team's first four games of the year. The 27-year-old was efficient with his double-digit minutes, tying for the highest scoring total among the team's bench players. While he showed what he can do with ample playing time Thursday, it seems unlikely that he'll be part of the team's rotation regularly.

Kevin Durant - Another big performance Durant notched 28 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 37 minutes during Thursday's 132-121 loss to the Spurs.
Impact The 35-year-old forward has scored at least 26 points in four straight games, and the return of Devin Booker from a toe injury Thursday didn't slow Durant down. Bradley Beal (back) has yet to make his Phoenix debut, so it's not clear how the trio might co-exist once he does, but Durant could be the focal point of the offense regardless given that he hasn't averaged below 25 points a game since he was a rookie in 2007-08.

Devin Booker - 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.
