However, he was rested in the Sixers match due to an ankle sprain. The Suns eventually lost the match. Can Booker make a comeback tonight against the Detroit Pistons?

Earlier, before the Sixers match, coach Vogel opened up about Booker‘s availability in the squad. ?Book?s out today,? said Vogel. The injuries are not letting go of Booker, it seems.

?He has some soreness in the ankle and it?s a quick turnaround. This tip-off is 36 hours from when the game ended the other day. It?s a lot like a back-to-back, and he is coming off that ankle injury, and there was soreness, so he?s going to be out today,??he said.

The Suns stepped down into the 13th position in the Western Conference league table. They won two matches and lost 4. Things are not going as planned for ‘The Slim Reaper’ and co. The Suns’ roster was considered among one of the best. Two consecutive losses against the Spurs, and the following loss against the 76ers took them to that position.
