The Phoenix Suns will likely start training camp without Devin Booker, whose injured hand is inflamed and may require surgery, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Booker, the Suns' leading scorer and highest paid player, was bothered by the right-hand injury throughout the closing months of last season, missing the last 12 games.

At the time, Booker and the Suns took criticism, with some suggesting it was a tactic to improve the team's position in the draft.
