At first, it appeared that Devin Booker would make his anticipated return to the court for the Phoenix Suns’ matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!With the added narrative of facing his former coach, Monty Williams, in his home state of Michigan, hopes were high.
However, in what will be his fifth game missed this season, Devin Booker has been ruled out with a calf injury.
What raises eyebrows is the rapid succession of injuries, as just two days ago, it was an ankle injury, and prior to that, a toe injury had sidelined him.
Understandably, fans across social media are growing increasingly frustrated with this recurring cycle of injuries that have plagued the Suns early in the season.

Yeah I'm probably a 7 on the panic meter at this point. This is quickly becoming a nightmarish start to the season. https://t.co/MkBzPLPjjF

This franchise is cursed.
That’s the only conclusion you can come to at this point. https://t.co/8FKVKMqMvq

I feel bad for KD at this point.
Coulda had another ring by now if injuries on his teams didn’t occur https://t.co/owUgVBcldw

Furthermore, there’s a growing concern regarding the extent of Booker’s injuries, which seem to change almost daily.
I seriously hope Devin booker's "new injury"isn't what I think it is…coz KD was thought to also have a "calf" injury until it turned out to be an achilles injury.

In the midst of these challenges, Bradley Beal remains unavailable due to back spasms, adding to the Suns’ injury woes.
