PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns will be without All-Star guard Devin Booker for at least seven days after he sprained his right ankle during Friday night’s 123-114 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The four-time All-Star will be re-evaluated in one week, the team said. Booker, averaging a team-best 25.4 points and 6.2 assists per game, rolled the ankle when he landed on Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu’s foot with five seconds left in the third quarter.
Booker’s exit capped a tough night for the Suns’ backcourt. Guard Jalen Green re-aggravated a right hamstring injury in just his second game after missing 33 contests. Green was able to walk without a limp postgame, and the club does not expect a prolonged absence.
Phoenix, 27-18 entering Friday’s matchup, begins a four-game road trip Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
