Devin Booker is day-to-day with left hamstring tightness he experienced in Friday's loss at New Orleans. Phoenix plays the Pelicans again Sunday.
NEW ORLEANS — Devin Booker was heading out of Smoothie King Center on Saturday afternoon with a slight limp, but said he was good when asked about a possible injury.
Turns out Booker was experiencing left hamstring tightness in Phoenix's 128-117 loss Friday at New Orleans. The Suns play the Pelicans again Sunday afternoon at Smoothie King Center. "We're just going to see how he progresses," Suns coach Monty Williams said after Saturday's practice."Just got to wait and see. I would say he's day-to-day, some soreness there. We didn't want to push it too far."
With a history of hamstring issues, Booker scored just 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting in 36 minutes. Williams took him out of the game with 1:50 remaining and Phoenix trailing, 120-112. "Just try to make the best decision for the team and for him. ... Sometimes I've got to protect him."
