Booker finished the game with 17 points, two rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes before exiting the Suns’ bench and heading to the locker room midway through the third quarter.

The 10-year veteran tweaked his ankle on a 3-point attempt with 9:16 remaining in the first quarter and seemed to be favoring the ankle throughout the game. However, the Suns officially ruled him out with groin tightness ahead of the final quarter.

Booker hasn’t missed a game all season, playing in all 26, including tonight against Indiana.
