BREAKING: Devin Booker Ejected From Pistons-Suns Game
UPDATE: The Suns won by a score of 116-100.
On Wednesday evening, the Phoenix Suns are playing the Detroit Pistons (at home in Arizona).
During the first quarter, All-Star guard Devin Booker was ejected after being assessed two technical fouls.
The former Kentucky star finished his night with seven points, one rebound, one assist and one steal while shooting 2/5 from the field and 1/2 from the three-point range in five minutes of playing time.
Via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports: "Devin Booker just got his second technical foul and will be ejected. And now Frank Vogel got one for arguing the call. Super duper tight whistle tonight means Book's night is done midway through the first quarter. Overcompensating for that pregame incident"
Booker came into the evening with averages of 28.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per contest while shooting 50.1% from the field and 37.8% from the three-point range in 44 games.
The Suns are already playing without three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal, so they will be down two of their three best players for nearly the entire game.
Right now, the Suns are the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 32-22 record in 54 games.
They are 6-4 over their last ten games and coming off a 130-125 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Booker had 25 points, three rebounds, nine assists and three steals while shooting 7/17 from the field in 38 minutes of playing time.
Following the Pistons, the Suns will play their next game on February 22 when they visit the Dallas Mavericks.
