Devin Booker’s 2023-24 NBA campaign has gotten off to a rocky start, as he is set to miss another matchup just a few days into the season. With no timeline for his return, the Phoenix Suns had initially assured fans that Booker would play against the LA Lakers, only for him to be ruled out at the last minute.
Now, Booker is listed as doubtful for the home opener against the Utah Jazz tonight due to a sprained left ankle. If he does not lace up, this will be his second consecutive missed game. Meanwhile, fans are left wondering when they might see their star player back in action.
In addition to Booker’s absence, Bradley Beal and Damion Lee have also been officially sidelined for the game. Beal, in particular, has yet to make his Suns debut, further contributing to the challenges the team has faced in the early part of the season.
Despite these setbacks, the team will have to rely on their existing roster to step up and fill the void left by these injured players. The upcoming games will serve as a test for the remaining Suns’ players and coaching staff as they adapt and strategize without some of their key talents.
In the coming days, fans will likely be closely monitoring updates regarding Booker’s return and the condition of the other sidelined players. The team’s ability to weather these early season challenges will undoubtedly set the tone for the rest of the 2023-24 NBA campaign.
