Doctor believes Devin Booker has suffered a Grade II or III ankle sprain, which could sideline him for 2–3 weeks.
Phoenix Suns star guard Devin Booker has suffered an injury in a 103-110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.
Late in the third quarter, Booker rolled his right ankle after stepping on the foot of Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu. The injury appeared severe, and Booker struggled to put weight on the ankle as he made his way to the locker room.
According to AZCentral's Duane Rankin, Booker had significant difficulty applying pressure to the ankle and was seen leaving the locker room on crutches.
Doctor of physical therapy Jeff Mueller has also given his take on his injury, while there's no official news on Booker's injury severity.
According to the doctor, Booker most likely suffered a Grade II or III ankle sprain, which could sideline him for a couple of weeks.
"Grade II or III ankle sprain, risk of avulsion fracture due to force of inversion. Likely multi-week absence," Mueller wrote on X.
Despite going down with an injury, Booker finished the game as its top scorer, dropping 31 points and adding 4 rebounds along with 3 assists.
This season, the 29-year-old guard is averaging 25.4 points, 4 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, leading the Suns to an impressive 27-18 record in the Western Conference.
