BREAKING: Significant Devin Booker Injury Update Before Lakers Game
On Wednesday evening, the Phoenix Suns are facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers in California.
However, they will be without All-Star guard Devin Booker, who is out due to an injury.
Before the game, Jared Greenberg of the NBA on TNT reported an update on Booker.
Greenberg: "NEW: Devin Booker is out tonight due to a left mid-foot sprain which he suffered during Tiesday’s win at Golden State. A team source tells me Booker is aiming to return to action Tuesday pending the results of an MRI which he will receive when the team returns home. @NBAonTNT"
Booker played in Tuesday's 108-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center and had 32 points, six rebounds, eight assists and one steal.
He is coming off a year where he averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 49.4% from the field.
Based on the report from Greenberg, Booker will likely miss Saturday's game at home against the Utah Jazz.
The Suns are also playing without Bradley Beal, who missed Tuesday's game (and has been ruled out for Thursday).
If the Suns can have a healthy season, they will be a contender to win the 2024 NBA Championship.
They are coming off a year where they were the fourth seed in the Western Conference and lost to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the NBA playoffs (in six games).
Over the offseason, the Suns acquired Beal in a trade with the Washington Wizards.
