Phoenix Suns Injury Update: How long will Devin Booker be out of action?

Phoenix Suns' All-Star guard, Devin Booker, suffered an ankle injury last weekend while playing with his team against the Houston Rockets. The Athletic report confirmed that Booker could be sidelined for the next 7-10 days.

The injury occurred during the final minutes of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets when Booker sprained his ankle on a defensive play, tangling with teammate Royce O'Neale. Despite his 24 points, Booker had to limp off the court and head to the locker room for further evaluation. X-rays later revealed no fractures, bringing a sign of relief to the Suns and their fans.

Booker's absence was felt immediately, as the Suns suffered a home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The injury poses a challenge for the Suns, as they have relied heavily on Booker's performance this season. With a 31-19 record with him in the lineup, contrasted with a 4-7 mark without him, his impact on the team is clear.

Booker, 27, has been a dominant force in the Suns' offense, averaging impressive numbers of 27.5 points, 6.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 50 games played this season. His ability to score efficiently from the field, shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from three-point range, has been instrumental to the team's success.

The news of Booker's injury presents a challenge for the Suns, who will need to find solutions to stay competitive in his absence. However, with the leadership of other key players and the hope for Booker's speedy recovery, the Suns are confident to overcome this obstacle and maintain their position in the Western Conference standings.
