Devin Booker Exits Suns’ Game at Lakers With Right Groin Injury

The setback revives a December groin trend that has sidelined him in recent seasons.

Overview

Booker posted 11 points with three assists and two rebounds in the first quarter before leaving with just over two minutes left in the period.
Phoenix ruled him out for the remainder of the game with a right groin injury, and no additional details were released.
He started at Crypto.com Arena and had been trying to bounce back from a cooler shooting November after a strong October.
He entered the night averaging 25.7 points, 6.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds for the 12–9 Suns.
Previous December groin issues sidelined Booker for 20 games in 2022 and five in 2024, and local outlets say updates on his status are forthcoming.
