Booker is BACK! Showing some sick moves today. The Suns shone as Booker carried his team to a 133-115 win over the T’Wolves. Boosting the lineup, he scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists in just 26 minutes. Last season, Booker, who was already struggling with a strained right calf, sustained the injury after only 35 minutes in a losing matchup against the Spurs.

Today, the Wolves stumbled upon a defeat at the hands of the Suns who broke the Suns’ 7-game win streak. In a postgame interview today, Booker talks about getting on the court and playing after his injury. Moreover, he also made an interesting admission about his opponents.

Evidently, he was diagnosed with a grade 1 hamstring injury, which resulted in Booker missing the following three games.

Further, almost a year later on October 2023, Booker sprained his left ankle as he tweaked his left foot during the fourth quarter in a matchup against Golden State. This affected his play as the Suns lost to the Lakers. Unfortunately, he had to sit out with his left foot all sored up.
