The Suns have been plagued with injury since their Kevin Durant went down after an 8-1 start to the season. Injuries to Bradley Beal and multiple role players soon followed and the Suns went from tied for first place in the Western Conference to ninth with a 14-12 record.
Booker, in his 10th season, is averaging 25.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.4 points in 36.6 minutes per game.
The All-Star guard is just another Sun bitten by a treacherous injury bug early in the season for Phoenix.
