Devin Booker, in the time he has been on the court, has been absolutely massive for the Phoenix Suns this season. So, when he went down with a groin injury, things didn’t take long to fall apart. And now, the team only has 3 wins in the last 10 games.

And to top it all off, they are on a 3-game losing streak.
The Suns have seen bad stretches before. But, in the history of the franchise’s win-now phases, there are hard to find many that supersede this one.

In simpler terms, if Devin Booker can’t come back soon, there may be no saving the Suns’ title hopes this season.
With that in mind, will Devin Booker be healthy enough to play against the surging Grizzlies tonight?
Devin Booker’s much-anticipated face-off with Ja Morant won’t be happening tonight
In case you may be wondering, yes that means Devin Booker will indeed miss tonight’s game against the Grizzlies, as per ESPN.
What only makes matters worse is that Phoenix is catching Memphis during a very bad time.

Ja Morant and his herd have won 7 of their last 10 games, and are looking healthier than they have been all season.
Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton may have to turn into real-life superheroes for the Suns to grab the win in this one.
