Devin Booker Set to Return vs. Pacers

The Phoenix Suns look to gain their best player back from groin management on Friday night, as Devin Booker looks to suit up against the Indiana Pacers.

The Phoenix Suns hope to integrate the talents of Kevin Durant soon after his return from a MCL sprain, which will keep him out until after the All-Star break. 

There's hope his (healthy) presence can propel the Suns to a championship, yet for now, Phoenix will continue to rely on the scoring of Devin Booker.

Booker missed the previous game due to "groin management" but is set to return tonight against the Indiana Pacers. He initially made his return from a 21-game absence on Tuesday and put up 19 points in 26 minutes in the loss against Brooklyn.

Indiana has won just two of their last fifteen games, yet a gutted Phoenix roster that no longer features Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson sees the Suns as +2.5 point underdogs on SI Sportsbook. 

If Booker's introduction back to full minutes is anything like Johnson's after his meniscus year, he will also be on another minutes restriction tonight. 

Cam Payne and Landry Shamet remain out with foot injuries. 

Along with Durant, the other two players acquired via trade in TJ Warren and Darius Bazley are not with the team either.
