" Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will be out after sustaining a right ankle sprain during Friday's game at Atlanta . He will be re-evaluated in one week," read the team's news release on the former Kentucky Wildcats star's status.
The four-time NBA All-Star Booker suffered the injury in the second half after rolling his ankle on Hawks big man Onyeka Okongwu's foot . He spent some time on the floor before getting up and limping to Phoenix's locker room.
Before he left, Booker had already scored 31 points on 12-for-21 shooting from the field to go along with five 3-pointers, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 28 minutes of action. As great as his performance was before his injury, his effort ultimately went for naught as the Suns suffered a 110-103 loss to Atlanta. That defeat ended Phoenix's six-game road trip on a negative note and snapped the Suns's three game winning streak.
The one-week period for Booker covers games against the Miami Heat , Brooklyn Nets , Detroit Pistons , Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers . Given the latest update on the 29-year-old Booker, he could potentially return to action during a Feb. 3 game against the Portland Trail Blazers on the road, but of course, it is still very much up in the air.
