Booker will have missed four consecutive games due to injury after tomorrow. He has only played in two of the Suns’ eight games so far this season with three different injuries.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported yesterday that there is some optimism that Booker will return during the team’s three-game home-stand.

As for Beal, it is a good sign that he is probable after yesterday’s game, meaning his body responded well to his limited minutes despite him looking pretty winded on the court.
