Suns Injury Report: Is Devin Booker Playing Tonight vs Warriors? Latest Update on 4x All-Star’s Availability

The game between the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors promises to be a fascinating watch as two title hopefuls face each other in a crucial game. However, the Suns will have the added advantage of having Devin Booker back on the roster after the 4x NBA All-Star missed the Suns’ victory vs the Jazz on Thursday because of left hip soreness.

With the 2023-24 season at a crucial juncture, the Suns are starting to find their stride at just the right time. After an injury-riddled first half of the campaign, they have had a resurgent second half of the season. Since the Christmas Day games, they have been one of the hottest teams in the league, securing victories in 17 out of 23 games played during that period.

Scheduled to tip off at 8:30 PM Eastern Time at the Chase Center in San Francisco, both teams will go into the game on the back of a three-game winning streak. Considering they’d both want to build on their winning momentum, the availability of Devin Booker is a good sign for the Suns and their fans. However, the Suns will miss the services of Damion Lee, who remains sidelined because of a meniscus injury.

Furthermore, the Suns have also listed Bradley Beal as probable for tonight’s game because of a right ankle sprain. Although the Warriors have most of their roster available for the game against Phoenix, they will be without Chris Paul. CP3 suffered a fracture in his left hand against the Pistons on 5th January. After undergoing surgery, Paul was re-evaluated recently, and he has now started light individual on-court workouts.

Predicted Lineups: Warriors vs Suns

The Golden State Warriors would look to maintain their three-game winning streak. From now on, the Dubs must pick up wins consistently if they still harbor ambitions of a deep postseason run. The Warriors currently languish outside the playoff spots in the Western Conference standings. However, a string of good results could instantly thrust them back into the playoff picture. They could start the game with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green.

On the contrary, the Suns have been one of the most consistent performers in the past couple of months. Furthermore, they will be boosted by the arrival of key trade deadline additions of Royce O’Neale and David Roddy. The Suns would aim to further cement their guaranteed playoff spot with a win over the Warriors. They could begin the game with Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkić.
