Injury Update Given to Suns SG Devin Booker

The Phoenix Suns were unable to emerge victorious in their Game 5 battle with the Denver Nuggets, falling flat in 118-102 fashion.

Now, the Suns will travel back home to potentially face the music in a Game 6 that could see them eliminated in the second round yet again.

Could Devin Booker be less than 100% heading into that battle?

Booker awkwardly landed on his left foot/ankle with 2.4 seconds left in the first quarter when going for a layup. He was able to sink both free throws after being fouled by Jeff Green to finish the first with 12 points.

He walked over to the bench under his own power after the quarter finished but was quickly subbed out. He was able to check back in with 8:49 and appeared to be fine before again seen hobbling later on in the game.

"I think he's okay. He had a sore foot, but we wouldn't put him back out there if we didn't think he was okay," said Monty Williams following the game.

Booker himself also answered questions on the injury.

"It felt fine," he said following the game.

He was then asked if the injury impacted his game at all:

“No, from the start, they came out, they were more physical than us. They play well at home, they’ve done this all year. They just came more ready than us.”

Booker led the Suns with 28 points on the night to go along with six rebounds and four assists.

Booker certainly wouldn't miss an elimination game even if the injury was serious, though his situation will be interesting to monitor moving forward.

Game 6 is Thursday, May 11 at 7:00 PM PST.
