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.
