The Phoenix Suns will be without their leading scorer Friday night against the Orlando Magic, the team announced.

Suns guard Devin Booker will not be in the lineup as he deals with a left toe injury.

The guard has already missed time this season after dealing with a hamstring issue.

When he’s on the court, Booker changes the game for Phoenix.

In 18 games played this season, Booker has averaged 24.5 points, 7.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.

His best game came against the Boston Celtics, where he dropped 38 points and nine assists in the 116-109 loss.

With their top scoring threat on the shelf, the Suns will have to get other players involved offensively as they look to snap a three-game losing streak.
