Suns star Devin Booker has hamstring strain, no timetable for return

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 4/20/22

Unfortunately for Phoenix Suns fans, the team announced Wednesday that superstar Devin Booker has a hamstring strain and a date has not been set for his return.

Per the Suns:

“Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has sustained a mild right hamstring strain, an MRI confirmed today. There is no timetable for his return and updates will be provided as appropriate.”

Booker sustained the injury in Phoenix's Game 2 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, appearing to jump awkwardly in the third quarter. He went to the Suns' bench before leaving the game.

The loss is a disappointing one for the Suns. Booker was Phoenix's best player on Tuesday, posting 31 points despite the loss, and has been red hot as of late. Needless to say, the Suns need to step up with the series tied 1-1 and their best scorer sidelined.

"No matter how you slice it, it’s 1-1," coach Monty Williams said, via PHNX Sports. "I’ll whine and feel bad about it tonight, but we’re 1-1, and it’s a long series. We get to go to their place, and we’ll do what we do. We’ve been really good on the road, historically good on the road. We’ve played without Chris and Book before; if we have to play without Book, next man up. And we’ve done that all year long."
