Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is out for Saturday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets, reported ArizonaSports.com’s Kellan Olson.

Booker is reportedly suffering from a left hamstring strain sustained during Friday night’s 130-126 OT loss to the Nuggets.

Booker was seen limping back to the Suns’ bench following a sequence with just under two minutes left in overtime.

Head coach Monty Williams then immediately took Booker out for Cameron Payne for the remainder of the contest.

Dario Saric and Damian Jones remain out due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
