Suns rule Devin Booker questionable vs. Grizzlies
The Phoenix Suns listed star shooting guard Devin Booker as questionable to play in Tuesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Monday’s injury report.
Booker has missed the last five games with a left groin strain he suffered on Dec. 19 against the Indiana Pacers. He has put up 25.1 points and 6.4 assists per game this season, and the Suns have gone 1-4 in his absence (15-16 overall).
Phoenix also listed guard Grayson Allen (concussion protocol) probable to return, while wing Royce O’Neale (left ankle sprain) is out for the first time this season.
Allen has missed the last four games, while O’Neale went down during Phoenix’s loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Starting center Jusuf Nurkic will not play, as he was suspended three games for a scuffle with Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall on Friday night.
Additionally, big man Bol Bol is questionable with a left knee contusion.
Grizzlies’ Ja Morant out vs. Suns
Memphis ruled star point guard Ja Morant out against Phoenix with a right AC joint sprain. Morant has averaged 21.2 points and 7.9 assists per game this season for the 22-11 Grizzlies, who are second in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies will be severely compromised by injuries beyond Morant. Five of their top nine players in minutes per game have been ruled out.
Santi Aldama (ankle sprain), Marcus Smart (partial extensor hood tear), Zach Edey (concussion protocol), Brandon Clarke (soleus strain), Vince Williams Jr. (ankle sprain), GG Jackson (metatarsal repair), Yuki Kawamura (shoulder soreness) and Jake LaRavia (ankle sprain) will be unavailable.
The Suns-Grizzlies game will tip off at Footprint Center on Tuesday at 7 p.m. MST on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
In a surprising turn of events, the Phoenix Suns have announced that star player Devin Booker is questionable for their upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This news comes as a shock to fans and analysts alike, as Booker has been a key contributor to the Suns’ success this season.
Booker, who is averaging 25.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that has caused him to miss the last few games. While the Suns have managed to win without him, his absence has certainly been felt on the court.
If Booker is unable to play against the Grizzlies, it will be a significant blow to the Suns’ chances of securing a victory. However, the team has shown resilience in the face of adversity and will look to other players to step up in Booker’s absence.
Fans will have to wait and see whether Booker will be able to suit up for the game against the Grizzlies, but one thing is for sure – the Suns will continue to rule the court with or without their star player.
