Booker (groin) set to miss at least four weeks
Published
The Phoenix Suns will be without the services of All-Star guard Devin Booker for at least four weeks, the team announced on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Booker has missed six of the team's last nine games with a left groin strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks' time. He appeared in the team's Dec. 26 double-overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets, but was forced to exit after only 4:20.
In his eighth season out of Kentucky, Booker has appeared in 29 games this season. He's averaged a career-high 27.1 points on .477 shooting, 5.6 assists and 4.6 boards over 34.6 minutes a night.
The Suns (20-15) currently sit fifth in the Western Conference, three games behind the conference-leading Nuggets. The team is in the midst of a six-game road trip and visits the Washington Wizards (14-21) later on Wednesday.
