The Thunder quickly scored a transition dunk with Booker hobbled on the other end, and the Suns called timeout to get Booker out of the game with 9:16 left in the period.
Grayson Allen entered for Booker.
With 6:56 left, Booker checked back into the game. Booker’s mobility will be something to watch moving forward.
Booker scored 11 points with four assists before the taking the tumble, and he hit back-to-back shots after re-entering.
He finished with 16 points in 39 minutes in a 121-109 loss that resulted in the Thunder taking a 3-0 series lead.

This city is so f*****’ obsessed with this overrated prima donna Booker. It feels as though every article focuses on him, his f****** shoes or his f*****-up cars or who the f*** he dates. Who gives a flying rat’s a**. The dude sucks when it matters most. Period. I went from liking Ishbia because of his gutsiness to now believing he’s a f****** p**** who wouldn’t know how to trade Booker even if he wasn’t afraid to trade him, let alone already giving the keys to the franchise to Brooks. I don’t care that this year’s team far-exceeded expectations. This team will never win jack s*** with that psychologically weak-a** whiny b**** as its face-of-the-franchise. I have been on a pedestal to trade Booker the last 2-3 years while other GMs may have thought he had value. Now, after the Suns extended him for another $70M py for 2 years, they’d be lucky to find a team to take him off their hands. The 2010s were the decade of bottoming-out. Get ready for the next 10 years of obscure mediocrity. But, hey, everyone rush out to buy a pair of their “legendary” Bookies ⛳️
Literally everyone not named Bfan LOL
What is he supposed to do against the champs? Hero ball?😑😬
