As Book returns from injury, one stat continues to stand out like a sore thumb.
Devin Booker made his much-awaited return for the Phoenix Suns after suffering a groin injury on Dec. 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
In his return game against those same Lakers on Dec. 15, Booker looked like he never left. He scored 27 points in 31 minutes, got to the free throw line 16 times, dished out seven assists and added six rebounds in a brutal two-point loss that prompted head coach Jordan Ott to call out the refs post-game.
