The Phoenix Suns were hit with a fresh injury blow regarding Dillon Brooks ahead of the game against LA Lakers on Sunday.
Latest update on Dillon Brooks
Brooks was placed on the Suns' injury report after Saturday's practice, along with Devin Booker and two others. The defensive star is placed as "questionable" because of left Achilles soreness.
Brooks was active in the last game against the OKC Thunder when the Suns faced a disappointing loss in the NBA quarter final clash. The former Memphis Grizzlies forward had a horrible shooting night, going 4 of 16 from the floor for 16 points.
This season, Brooks is averaging a career-high in scoring with 21.7 points per game. The Suns would pray for Brook's timely recovery, as his presence would be important against Luka Doncic and LeBron James. The Canadian forward's defensive tenacity and outside shooting have been keys to Phoenix's success.
Latest update on Devin Booker
On the other hand, Devin Booker is on the verge of missing his fourth straight game. The star is placed as "questionable" with a right groin strain. Booker was a full participant in Saturday's practice and played one-one against the coaches. A final decision on his status will be taken ahead of tip off.
Other ruled out players
Jalen Green and Isaiah Livers are ruled out of the Lakers game. Green is sidelined with a right hamstring strain and Livers is battling with a right hip strain.
