Booker had an early seven points and the Suns led 14-10 before his first technical foul. The Suns were already without Bradley Beal tonight, who has a left hamstring injury.
Former Suns’ coach Monty Williams spoke highly of Booker before the game. Williams even joked that sometimes he watches Booker and sees that Booker doesn’t have him there to calm him down anymore.
Entering tonight, Booker was averaging 28.0 points on 50.1% shooting and 7.1 assists across 44 contests. This is Suns’ last game before the All-Star break, and they will now have to see if they can beat the team with the worst record in the league without their starting backcourt.
