Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will be reevaluated in one week after he suffered a right ankle sprain in Friday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the team announced on Sunday.
Booker had been previously ruled out for the Suns’ home game against the Miami Heat on Sunday.
Late in the third quarter of Friday’s game, Booker was slowing down while a whistle was blown and he unknowingly collided with Atlanta’s Onyeka Okongwu and twisted his ankle.
After being down for about 30 seconds, Booker gingerly walked toward the locker room and did not return.
Booker previously sprained his left ankle in a road game against the Miami Heat on Jan. 13, which caused him to miss one game.
The injury occurred after Jalen Green, who was playing in just his second game back from a hamstring injury, left early in Friday’s game after just four minutes played. He was later ruled out with “precautionary right hamstring tightness.” Green is out for Sunday’s game with right hamstring injury management.
In 41 games played this season, Booker has averaged 25.4 points on 45.6% shooting, 6.2 assists and four rebounds per game.

Rubbish! This squad will win games on spunkiness and grit alone✊🏾
Booker is 29 and probably has 4 solid years of prime play left in him. I wouldn’t say it’s green’s team anytime soon.
Oso and Williams would benefit from a Chris Paul type PG who lives in pick and roll situations. We don’t have that. Having them both on the court is a recipe for disaster. Williams has been great but he doesn’t really operate back to the basic or face up extended a little from the rim. He’s good as a screen setting roller, in the dump zone, or on the offensive glasses.
Iso offers you a runner or two a game, but again, that’s not happening when defensive can crowd the paint since him and Williams are zero threat from the outside.
