Chris Paul misses his All-Star backcourt brother.
Devin Booker had to skip playing in Sunday's NBA All-Star and 3-point contest in Atlanta after suffering a left knee sprain in Thursday's win over Golden State to conclude the first half of the season for the red-hot Phoenix Suns (24-11).
"It's actually tough being here without him," Paul said before Sunday's All-Star game.
Booker is listed as day-to-day as he'll be re-evaluated after the break as the Suns resume action Thursday at Portland (21-14), a team they drummed by 32 points last month in Phoenix.
"I was actually looking forward to coming here with Book, but his health is what's most important," said Paul, who has been joined in Atlanta by his dad, brother, son and nephew.
