The Phoenix Suns will likely start training camp without Devin Booker, who will have hand surgery and is out indefinitely, according to a report from 98.7 FM.
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.
“Everyone thinks I’m faking it. They think we’re trying to tank but that’s not the case,” Booker said last March.
