Suns' Devin Booker to undergo hand surgery, out indefinitely: report
(Photo: Joe Camporeale/USA TODAY Sports)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. “I always pride myself on playing and playing through injuries.”
