The Suns‘ bid to emerge from a crowded Western Conference field has been compromised significantly in the near future. Guard Devin Booker suffered a left groin strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, according to a Wednesday afternoon announcement from Phoenix.
Booker missed three games from Dec. 19 to 23—a win over the Lakers and losses to the Wizards and Grizzlies—with groin soreness. He tried to return on Christmas Day against the Nuggets but played just four minutes before aggravating the injury, during which he scored two points.
