Devin Booker Up In The Air For Friday
5 months agoPhoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) said after Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors that he's not sure if he'll be available on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. "It's a long flight. See how it feels", Booker told reporters after appearing to injure his right ankle in the third quarter of the eventual 112-105 loss. The issue may have contributed to Booker's apparent struggles on Wednesday, ending just 2-for-12 from the field for a season-low eight points. Booker has already lost eight games this year to various right lower-leg ailments, so expect Phoenix to exercise caution here. The 27-year-old three-time All-Star is earning second-round fantasy figures, gaining 27.3 points, 8.5 assists, and 2.0 triples while converting a sparkling 92.2% of his 7.7 free-throw attempts per game. Expect the Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen (illness) show to resume in the Suns backcourt if Booker is out on Friday, while Kevin Durant would absorb massive usage.
