UPDATE : Bad news, but not really surprising, for the Phoenix Suns. They will eventually have to do without Devin Booker for at least four weeks.
Unable to play more than four minutes last Sunday, the Suns star will have to be reassessed in a month. She had already missed 6 of her team’s last 9 matches due to hamstring and then groin pain.
A hard blow for the Phoenix Suns, who risk continuing to drift in the standings in the absence of their best player. Since his physical problems, the team remains on 6 defeats in 10 matches.
Hard blow also for Booker who had so far had a monstrous season. Author of two points at more than 50 points, he is having his best season in scoring (27.1 pts) and was in the running for MVP.
Let’s hope that the point he will make with the medical staff in a month is conclusive and that his absence does not extend beyond…

December 26: Devin Booker further aggravates his injury, a blow for the Suns
After a superb start to the season, the Phoenix Suns are gradually coming down from their cloud. The Arizona franchise is currently on a three-game losing streak and has lost seven of the last ten games. Results linked, in large part, to the injury of their best player: Devin Booker.
This Sunday, the Christmas Game once morest the Nuggets was to mark the return from behind with his team. Listed “questionable” before the meeting, Booker then returned from three consecutive absence matches. He was only able to stay on the pitch for four minutes, however, before aggravating his groin problem and returning to the bench.
Unable to play, Devin Booker had to witness the defeat of his team in overtime (128-125) from the outside. The Suns star, who was spotted limping, seemed particularly frustrated with his situation.

Since the start of the season, Booker has been evolving at a phenomenal level. When in the field, he’s averaging 27.1 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.6 rebounds, 47.7 percent shooting and 37 percent three-point. Phoenix thus displays a with 18-11 with him, once morest 1-4 without.
Given the nature of his injury, it is reasonable to expect the player to miss another 1-2 weeks of competition. A complicated situation for his franchise, in which he leaves a big void.
