Devin Booker is out at least a week with a sprained ankle
The The Phoenix Suns will be without the services of star guard Devin Booker in court at least a week following an update shared by the team on Sunday.
“Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will be sidelined after suffering a sprained right ankle during the Atlanta game. He will be re-evaluated in a week,” the team said in a statement regarding the former Kentucky Wildcats star’s status.
Four-time NBA All-Star Booker was injured in the second half after rolling his ankle on the foot of Hawks big man Onyeka Okongwu. He spent some time on the floor before getting up and limping to Phoenix’s locker room.
Before he left, Booker had already scored 31 points on 12-for-21 shooting from the field, with five 3-pointers, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 28 minutes of action. As great as his performance was before the injury, his efforts were ultimately for naught as the Suns suffered a 110-103 loss to Atlanta. The loss ended Phoenix’s six-game road trip and snapped the Suns’ three-game winning streak.
Booker’s one-week stretch includes games against the Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers. Given the latest information on the 29-year-old Booker, he could potentially return to action during the Feb. 3 game against the Portland Trail Blazers on the road, but of course, that’s still up in the air.
So far in the 2025-26 NBA regular season, the former 13th overall NBA draft pick is averaging 25.4 points, 6.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
