Just five weeks ago Devin Booker underwent hand surgery. Fast forward to Thursday night, you may find some people googling how to get that same surgery after the performance the young guard put on in Phoenix.
“Every day during the summer, I worked hard for this day, this season,” Booker said. “I knew going forward that the team the organization put together for us was going to be very special.”
And special it was. Booker missed all of preseason and his availability remained in question officially until just before tip off. However, you would never guess this was his first NBA action since the middle of March.
