Devin Booker Will Play vs. Clippers; Deandre Ayton Out

In this story:
He's back.
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker will return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. His presence is much needed, as the Suns are currently riding a three-game losing streak and will play a Clippers team that is third in the NBA in terms of points allowed per night with 108.
Booker's last three games have featured him scoring less than 20 points in each contest, and he was sat during the final two minutes of play in the team's loss against New Orleans last Friday.
Phoenix took the Pelicans to overtime on Sunday before losing then and on Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.
However, Phoenix will be without the talents of Deandre Ayton (sprained ankle). Ayton injured himself against the Rockets on Tuesday and didn't return in the loss after playing just 15 minutes.
Ayton isn't the only big name out, however. Cam Payne, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
