Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker is facing at least a week on the sidelines due to a right hip strain. The injury occurred during Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Booker's absence marks another blow for the Suns, who have been navigating various player health issues this season.
Booker, who has been averaging 24.7 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.9 rebounds, recently recovered from a seven-game stint due to a sprained right ankle. The team also shared that recently acquired guard Haywood Highsmith is making good progress in his recovery from right knee surgery performed last offseason. Highsmith is expected to undergo another evaluation in two to three weeks.
Despite these setbacks, the Suns have performed admirably, holding a 32-24 record. However, the team has struggled recently, losing four of their last five games, indicating that injuries are impacting their performance.
