Suns Not Looking To Trade Devin Booker This Offseason
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has been with the team since they made him the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Despite the rough season with three max-contract players, Booker seems to be cemented in the team's plans moving forward. Even in a down year, the 28-year-old is averaging 25.9 points, 6.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.7 threes per game. Owner Matt Ishbia made it clear that Booker is not on the trade block, even though the Suns are expected to make a major shakeup this offseason. Co-stars Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have already had their names thrown into the rumor mill, and it seems like their moves away from Phoenix are all but inevitable. Ishbia is not a fan of rebuilds, so there could be a brand new supporting cast around Booker with other veterans if he gets his wish.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to a back issue. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about it as the Suns likely rested him knowing it was the last game before the break. Booker appears to be fine now and ready to resume his role in the starting five. Booker has been excellent this season and is a must-start in all fantasy formats.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (back) will come out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. He hurt his back in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies as Phoenix kicked off a back-to-back. With Bradley Beal (toe) also out, Kevin Durant will be the last man standing among the Suns' Big Three. He netted a game-high 34 points in Tuesday's loss against Memphis to become the eighth player in NBA history with 30,000 career points. Given Phoenix's injury situation, Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn should take on additional offensive duties in Wednesday's game.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) was listed as questionable for the team's Tuesday night home game against Memphis, but he was upgraded to available 30 minutes before tip-off. Booker has missed the last five games with a groin injury but will start for Phoenix in the team's final game of 2024. In his 26 games this season, Booker has averaged 25.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He could only be available for limited minutes, but his return means he can be started in all fantasy formats. While Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal get a slight downgrade for DFS contests, Booker's return is great news for the Suns.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (groin) has been officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Memphis. He appears ready to return from a five-game absence after participating in five-on-five action during Monday's practice. However, the team hasn't yet fully committed to his return. With Booker's return, Ryan Dunn will land back on the bench, but his production has been underwhelming in the starting unit.
According to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) could return to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. Booker has been sidelined for five consecutive contests due to a groin issue. However, the 28-year-old participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage during Monday's practice. Coach Mike Budenholzer sounded upbeat about the chances of Booker returning to the lineup soon after faring well in the scrimmage.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will not play against Denver on Christmas Day. He exited the lineup last week with a left groin strain and will be absent for a third straight game. Kevin Durant has averaged 33.0 points with Booker out of the lineup, while Bradley Beal's scoring numbers have also received a big boost. The two combined for 46 points in Monday's heavy 117-90 loss to the Nuggets.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Pistons. That has been known. However, the team provided an update to add more salt to the wound, reporting the multi-time All-Star will also miss Monday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. Unfortunately, there could be more absences on the horizon, based on an evaluation that is scheduled for next week. The 28-year-old has averaged 25.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season. Even better, he hasn't missed a game after appearing in only 68 during the 2023-24 campaign. But with Booker potentially facing a lengthy layoff due to a groin strain suffered against the Pacers on Thursday night, Kevin Durant should take on more of the scoring duties, with Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen potentially getting more involvement.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This comes after Booker exited early on Thursday due to a groin injury. The severity of the issue is unclear, but Booker will at least miss Saturday's game. His next chance to get on the court will be Monday versus the Denver Nuggets. The Suns will likely use a committee approach to help fill the void left by the superstar guard. Out of everyone, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen figure to gain the most fantasy value. Both players are possible streaming options with Booker unavailable on Saturday. O'Neale has been playing well lately and is the slightly better short term option between the two.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) won't return to Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Booker played 25 minutes, finishing with 17 points, six assists, and one steal. Without question, this is another tough blow for Phoenix, considering the team has been without Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant at times during the 2024-25 campaign. But now it could be Booker's turn to go on the shelf. With that said, he'll likely undergo further testing. However, if the groin tightness keeps him off the floor for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Pistons, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale should see more minutes.
