Booker has arrived to the end of the team's initial seven-day window for re-evaluation of his sprained right ankle, and Suns coach Jordan Ott said he's been working hard to get back on the court.

"I think you've seen enough. You've seen his work on the court. He's in a good place. He did some more work today. The swelling, soreness. Now it's getting onto the court to play. That guy is relentless in trying to get back. So he'll get back when he's ready and we'll be ready for him," Ott said of Booker.

Booker's also missed previous time with a groin injury this year. Now, his next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against Portland.

Green left Friday night's game after taking a hard fall to the floor. While Ott revealed Green's hamstring was fine, the star guard did suffer the hip injury.

"Hamstring was good, it was the hip," Ott told reporters after the game. "Hip contusion, it was just the fall everybody saw. Probably will be a little sore tomorrow."

Green had played just five prior games to that point with a hamstring injury that's haunted him since the beginning of training camp, suffering multiple setbacks to this point.

It appears he's still suffering from both injuries entering the Clippers' matchup.

Phoenix has the NBA's second-best record since Christmas despite dealing with injuries left and right on the roster, which is a result of a commendable job done by first-year coach Jordan Ott.

“We’re a super deep team, even the guys who aren't playing, our rookies, they're ready to go," emerging Suns center Oso Ighodaro said after the win. "Whoever's name is called, everyone’s been stepping up all year and we're gonna continue to do that.”
