Devin Booker hasn't played since re-aggravating his groin Christmas Day at Denver.
Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams doesn’t have an exact date for Devin Booker’s re-evaluation of a left groin strain, but he didn’t suggest his All-Star guard will be ready to play anytime soon.
“We’ve got a lot of boxes to check before he can even approach that,” Williams said before Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies. “He’s had non-contact practices, but that’s not the same as getting beat up a little bit and playing in 3-on-3, 4-on-4, 5-on-5, playing in three-minute spurts, which is on average what you do in a game before there is a whistle. Between 2 ½ and three minutes, that’s where you build your conditioning, endurance to get back on the floor and play the way we play.
Booker strained his groin in the first quarter of Phoenix’s Christmas loss at Denver. The Suns sent out a release Dec. 28 that Booker would be re-evaluated in four weeks. Based on that date, Booker could be evaluated Wednesday. The Suns are 5-13 without Booker as he sat for Sunday’s game against Memphis . He first missed two games with left hamstring tightness.
