Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is out and Jalen Green (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat after both were injured Friday at the Atlanta Hawks.
Late in the third quarter, Booker was lightly slowing down while a whistle was blown to his right, and as he looked that way, he unknowingly collided with Atlanta’s Onyeka Okongwu to badly twist his right ankle.
Booker was down for about 30 seconds before gingerly making his way toward the locker room with a heavy limp and needing to take a few breaks en route to the back.
He had sprained his left ankle just 10 days prior in Miami, which forced him to miss just one game, but he was clearly playing through some limitations.
Green came off the bench and played four minutes in the first quarter, logging four points, one rebound and one assist. He was not seen on the bench after the early stint and was later ruled out with “precautionary right hamstring tightness,” according to the team.
Green has appeared in just four out of 45 regular-season games for Phoenix this season after the offseason Kevin Durant trade netted the Suns Green, Dillon Brooks and the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft that was used to select Khaman Maluach.
He reaggravated the hamstring injury in two of those four games and averaged 20.5 points per game in the two contests he finished.
Jordan Goodwin will continue to wear a mask as he plays through a jaw sprain.
