Is Devin Booker Playing Tonight vs Grizzlies? Suns Release Injury Report For 3x All-Star Before the Clash Against Ja Morant and Co
Much like his team’s inconsistency in getting Wins, Devin Booker, despite being on his way to a career year, has been a little on and off with his mind-boggling touch and finesse.
Before his breathtaking 58-point performance against the Pelicans last week, he was averaging 14 points per game for four games and the Suns lost 3 of them.
When they were dominating in the West in the last two seasons, the teams that knocked them out of the Playoffs didn’t face much difficulty in eliminating them.
We can only imagine what would happen if they don’t finish top-4 this season. A first-round elimination, perhaps! And for them to avoid it, they need Booker to play every game like he is, averaging a career-high 28/5/5. Will he take the floor against the Grizzlies tonight?
Will Devin Booker play the game against Ja Morant-led Memphis Grizzlies?
Thursday night will be a statement game for the Suns and the Grizzlies, who are both coming off a loss. More pressure rests on Chris Paul and Co because they lost to the Washington Wizards whereas Ja’s team lost to the Denver Nuggets.
However, they will be a few players short for the important game. And their 3x All-Star guard would be among the injured players, having suffered a groin injury in his 58-point season-high performance.
Here are the players that might miss the game in Phoenix tonight, along with Booker, who will not play.
Devin Booker, Cam Payne, Cam Johnson, and Jae Crowder remains out for the Suns’ game tomorrow against the Grizzlies.
Jock Landale and Josh Okogie have been upgraded to questionable.
No Chris Paul on the injury report.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies might be getting Desmond Bane back with no other player on the injury list. Did somebody say blowout?
The Suns wouldn’t want to be in a losing momentum for the Christmas Eve game against the Nuggets, for which Booker might also be suiting up. It will be a tough one for the Point God to pull through without his superstar partner.
