Suns star Devin Booker is getting close to returning to action, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports.
Booker did individual on-court work with Suns assistant Jarrett Jack after the morning shootaround at the team’s practice facility on Thursday. Booker didn’t play in Phoenix’s night game against the Wizards, the seventh consecutive game he’s missed due to a left hamstring strain.
Booker was running, dribbling and shooting as he showed progress from the injury he suffered on November 30 against Golden State.
Prior to the workout, Booker had been limited to weight lifting and shooting. He said earlier in the week he’d like to undergo some contact in practices before he suits up again.
“Get some up-and-down, check all the boxes,” Booker said.
The Suns have two days off before Sunday’s game against Charlotte and Booker could come back in that game. Heading into the game against Washington, Phoenix was 4-2 since Booker was injured.
5-2 without Booker now
It is all about quality pg, Ayton,Booker doesn’t matter. Javale looked even better as starter than Ayton. They need a guy that will run team when Paul is on the bench. Imagine Rubio as Paul’s bc.
Javale gets a bad rap from all the Shaq hate. Denver misses him badly.
