Booker Returns; Suns Guard Shakes off Rust in Comeback Game

Devin Booker made his return to the court for the Phoenix Suns after a five-game absence due to a left groin strain. He played in Tuesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, contributing nine assists despite a rusty shooting performance, going 4-20 from the field. Booker’s return was highly anticipated, and his playmaking skills were on full display, with coach Mike Budenholzer praising his exceptional leadership and toughness.

Booker had been sidelined since December 19, and his absence affected the team’s performance, with the Suns losing four of the five games he missed. However, his return brought a much-needed boost, and the team is looking forward to having him back at full strength.

In other news, the Suns are dealing with additional injury concerns, including Bradley Beal’s left hip contusion and Royce O’Neale’s left ankle sprain. Despite these challenges, the team remains optimistic with Booker’s return, aiming to build momentum and make a strong push in the Western Conference.
