Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker picked up a right ankle injury against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, January 23. This setback took place after Jalen Green also exited the game early with right hamstring tightness.
How Devin Booker suffered an ankle injury?
He rolled the ankle after stepping on Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu's foot with about 5 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Booker limped off the court and while no update was shared by the Suns, he was spotted leaving the team's locker room on crutches.
"Pretty unlucky," Suns coach Jordan Ott. "We'll just have to take a look when we get back to Phoenix."
The Suns fumbled a seven-point lead entering the fourth quarter after losing Booker. They lost the match 110-103 and the four-time All-Star wrapped up the game with 31 points, four rebounds and three assists.
