However, they will get Booker back in the lineup on Tuesday against Sacramento.

QUESTIONABLE: Khaman Maluach (right thumb sprain). OUT: Dillon Brooks (left hand fracture) and Jordan Goodwin (left calf strain).

Devin Booker (right hip strain) and Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) aren’t on their injury report.”

Booker is in his 11th NBA season (all with the Suns).

He is currently averaging 24.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 30.8% from three-point range in 44 games.

Here’s what people were saying about the news:

@AndrewLeezus: “Devin Booker plays basketball today. Today is a good day.”

@darontheblasian: “6-0 next 6 games incoming”

@Blu_Ace_: “Always good to see Book back 💯”

@StephenPG3: “Devin Booker & Jalen Green have played *just* 65 minutes together this season. With them on: • 127.6 Ortg • 111.5 Drtg • +16.1 Net Obviously *entirely* too small of a sample size, but this does highlight the tandem & the Suns potential. An all-important 22 games left.”

@PHNX_Suns: “BREAKING: Devin Booker is OFF the injury report for tomorrow’s game vs the Kings. He’s back 🙌”
