In this period full of news in the NBA (trade deadline, LeBron James record, All-Star Game…), the Suns have also tumbled with a nice update. After a month and a half of absence… Devin Booker should make his return tomorrow night against the Nets!
18 wins and 11 losses with him, 11 wins and 15 losses since.
Men lie but numbers don’t.
Injured in the groin since Christmas (nothing to do, however, with Rudy Gobert who is rather from Aisne), the franchise player of the Suns Devin Booker will therefore most likely make his return tomorrow night against the Nets, against Kyr’s team… Cam Thomas. A nice breath for the team of Monty Williams, who will finally be able to present themselves in full after having to compose without Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul and / or DB during a very large part of their matches this season.
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker to make his return on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets on @NBAonTNT.

27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists average this seasonthe 50 mark exceeded twice (49/8/10 also in a loss to the Jazz), and therefore, without drawing you a huge boost for the 2021 NBA finalists, defeated last season in the semi-finals of conference against the Mavericks.
Devin Booker will likely be used sparingly on his debut and will have All-Star Weekend to rest, as his long absence this season has resulted in him missing the all-star fixture for the first time since the 2018 season. -19.
So focus tomorrow evening on the return of the little prince from Arizona, who must also keep an eye on… the negotiations between the Suns and the Nets about Kevin Durant. Because if tomorrow night Devin can have fun hitting Brooklyn for his comeback, the Suns may try for their part… to leave with KD. What a life, what a league.
