Devin Booker has been out of the side for quite some time now. A true shame, given the fact that the Phoenix Suns couldn’t possibly need him more, at the moment. The franchise has won just 2 of its last 10 games, dropping down to the 10th seed in the process.

During much of this stretch, Chris Paul (hip) has been unable to play either. This has not only created obvious holes on both ends but also left the franchise with no go-to man during games.
Yet, the Suns are looking to be contenders once again this season, making wins of tantamount importance. And hope is still alive for Booker’s swift return.
So, with all that in mind, can Devin Booker make it back in time to feature against the Pacers?
ESPN reveals the unchanged status of Devin Booker’s health
Devin Booker has been struggling with a niggling groin injury for much of this season. But for the past couple, it has been far worse than ever before.
Fortunately, for injuries such as his, no surgery or intrusive method of any kind is needed. Rather, the best healer of a strain is nothing more than some good old rest.

And unfortunately, despite not playing since December 17th, Booker will require more of it.
ESPN reports that the man is still at least about a week away from being re-evaluated. And even after this process, it is likely he will continue his stint on the sidelines.
Simply put, no, Devin Booker won’t be making it back to the court tonight.
Sorry Suns fans.
