Devin Booker Ruled Out for Suns’ Visit to East-Leading Pistons

Phoenix turns to its depth on a six-game trip following the guard’s left ankle sprain.

Overview

  • Booker was downgraded from questionable and will miss tonight’s game in Detroit with a left ankle sprain suffered late in Tuesday’s loss to Miami.
  • Dillon Brooks missed morning shootaround due to illness but is expected to play, while Royce O’Neale and Jordan Goodwin are available and Nigel Hayes-Davis remains questionable.
  • Jalen Green is still out with a right hamstring strain, and team officials suggest he could return as early as Saturday against the Knicks; two-way guard Jamaree Bouyea remains out in concussion protocol.
  • The Pistons lead the East at 28-10 and list Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, and Isaiah Stewart as probable; tipoff is 7 p.m. ET at Little Caesars Arena.
  • Phoenix enters at 24-16 during a six-game road stretch and is 1-2 this season without Booker, underscoring his role as the team’s leading scorer and playmaker.
