Suns' Devin Booker: Set to be re-evaluated in one week
Rotowire
Booker (groin) will be re-evaluated in one week, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Booker has been diagnosed with a right groin strain, which is expected to keep him out of action for at least Phoenix's next three games. Fantasy managers should expect the Suns to update the superstar guard's condition at some point in mid-December. Booker's absence frees up plenty of minutes for the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen (illness) to soak up.

Suns' Devin Booker: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Booker won't return to Monday's game against the Lakers due to a right groin injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Booker exited Monday's contest with 2:05 remaining in the first quarter and was later ruled out for the remainder of the game. He'll finish with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 10 minutes. With the star guard unavailable, Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Jamaree Bouyea are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way. The Suns don't play again until Friday versus the Rockets, so they'll be expected to provide an update on Booker by Thursday at the latest.

Rotowire
Booker racked up 21 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to the Thunder.
The 29-year-old guard churned out his usual rock-steady production. Booker hasn't scored fewer than 16 points in any game this season, and through 14 contests in November he's averaged 23.8 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.2 steals per contest.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shooting struggles continue in win
Rotowire
Booker contributed 19 points (6-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 win over the Kings.
Booker has connected on only 33.3 percent of his shots over the past five games, preventing him from coming close to his usual season average of 26 points per game. Until Booker shapes up his shot selection, upside games of 30-plus points will be few and far between.

Suns' Devin Booker: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Booker compiled 16 points (4-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds, one steal and nine turnovers in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-113 win over the Timberwolves.
Booker had a tough time getting anything going in this one, with Jaden McDaniels draped all over him throughout the game. Booker finished with a season low in points in his least efficient game of the year. Managers can anticipate a bounce-back performance from the Suns' star guard Sunday versus the Spurs.

Booker closed with 19 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 win over Portland.
Booker didn't need to do much against the shorthanded Trail Blazers, and he ceded all fourth-quarter minutes to Collin Gillespie with the game well in hand. Booker took some time to get going, but he turned on the gas with 10 points and two rebounds in the second quarter.

Suns' Devin Booker: Poor shooting display Sunday
Rotowire
Booker logged 27 points (10-23 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 loss to the Hawks.
Booker struggled massively from beyond the arc, but those shooting woes aren't new, as this was the fourth time he didn't make a single three-pointer over his last five games. In eight games since the beginning of November, Booker is averaging 27.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 49.7 percent from the floor -- although he's making only 23.7 percent of his threes.

Suns' Devin Booker: Cruises to 33-point night
Rotowire
Booker produced 33 points (12-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 133-98 victory over the Pacers.
Booker turned in yet another strong scoring effort, combining with teammate Dillon Brooks for 65 points. Booker was particularly impressive during the third quarter, when he tacked on 14 points, including a pair of triples. He's poured in 30-plus points in seven of 13 appearances this season and has also provided consistent value in the assist column.

Suns' Devin Booker: Pops for game-high 26 in win
Rotowire
Booker closed with 26 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-13 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 victory over the Mavericks.
The star guard led all scorers on the night as he topped 20 points for the 10th time in 12 games to begin the season. Booker is thriving as a solo act in Phoenix with Kevin Durant now in Houston and Bradley Beal (hip) a Clipper, averaging what would be a career-high 28.2 points with 7.0 assists, 4.2 boards, 2.1 threes and 0,8 steals a contest.

Suns' Devin Booker: Limited to 19 points
Rotowire
Booker posted 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-98 win over the Pelicans.
Booker didn't have a bad shooting performance, but it was clear the Suns decided to ride the hot hand of Grayson Allen, who finished with a franchise-high 10 three-pointers made en route to 42 points. This was just the second time Booker didn't reach the 20-point mark this season, but one below-par outing won't affect his fantasy upside. Expect the star guard to remain the focal point of the Suns' offense until further notice.

Suns' Devin Booker: Teases triple-double in win
Rotowire
Booker posted 21 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 victory over the Clippers.
The 29-year-old guard came one assist short of his first career triple-double in the regular season, although he did have one in the 2020-21 playoffs. Booker has scored more than 20 points in eight straight games and nine of 10 to begin the current campaign, and Saturday's win was the first time he'd failed to drain at least one three-pointer. With Jalen Green (hamstring) hurt again, Booker's usage figures to remain sky high.

Suns' Devin Booker: Paces Phoenix in loss
Rotowire
Booker posted 38 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Warriors.
Booker delivered a game- and season-high 38 points en route to his sixth 30-plus-point performance through eight regular-season games, albeit in a losing effort. Although he struggled from three-point range in the loss, the star guard has still shot 46.2 percent from beyond the arc over his last five appearances. During that span, Booker has attempted at least 23 shots in four contests and should continue to see heavy usage, especially with Jalen Green (hamstring) sidelined.

Suns' Devin Booker: Strong double-double in win
Rotowire
Booker logged 28 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 assists, two rebounds and a steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 130-118 win over the Spurs.
Booker was the game's leading scorer Sunday, putting up 28 points on impressive efficiency. Aside from his scoring, Booker also did well as a facilitator, racking up a season-high assists total. The 29-year-old pro has thrived as the clear top option to start the season, averaging 32.2 points, 8.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 38.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Suns' Devin Booker: Game-high 36 points in win
Rotowire
Booker registered 36 points (13-23 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one block over 39 minutes during the Suns' 118-96 win over the Jazz on Friday.
Booker made his presence felt early with 12 points in the first quarter to help the Suns jump out to a 20-point lead, and he matched that total in the third frame to maintain Phoenix's cushion. Booker has scored at least 31 points in five of the first six games of the regular season while dishing out at least seven dimes in four of those contests. Booker has been the Suns' clear focal point on offense following the offseason trade of Kevin Durant to the Rockets, and the former should continue to see a high usage for as long as Jalen Green (hamstring) is sidelined.

Suns' Devin Booker: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Booker produced 32 points (10-26 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Although Booker led the team in scoring, he converted only 38.4 percent of his shots and relied on frequent trips to the charity stripe to bolster his totals. Booker's shot volume is immense, and he usually finds his way to a solid total due to his massive usage. The Suns should reach full potency once Booker shares the backcourt with Jalen Green (hamstring), who is close to making his debut.

Suns' Devin Booker: Posts 30-point double-double
Rotowire
Booker poured in 34 points (11-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one block over 44 minutes in Monday's 138-134 overtime loss to the Jazz.
Booker delivered his first double-double of the season in impressive fashion during a thrilling overtime loss that dropped the Suns to 1-3. The star guard has topped 30 points in three of four games and continues to shoulder the scoring load for a Phoenix team lacking secondary firepower, especially with Jalen Green (hamstring) yet to suit up this season. While team success may be tough to come by, Booker's start to the season has been electric and he looks poised for a massive 2025-26 campaign.

Suns' Devin Booker: Pours in game-high 31 in loss
Rotowire
Booker amassed 31 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-111 loss to the Nuggets.
It's the second time in three games to begin the season that Booker has dropped 31 points. The 28-year-old guard is seeing sky-high usage in the early going on a Suns roster that got stripped of established offensive talent in the offseason, and much of his production so far has come at the charity stripe -- Booker's averaging 10.3 free-throw attempts, a huge bump from the 6.4 he averaged in 2024-25.

Suns' Devin Booker: Held in check by Clippers
Rotowire
Booker notched 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Clippers.
Although Booker had an accurate night, his shot volume was way down in the blowout loss. The Clippers keyed in on him and played smothering defense, hassling Booker for the duration. Neutralizing Booker is a great way to shut down Phoenix's offense, and it worked flawlessly Friday night. More output from Booker's supporting cast will be necessary to keep nights like this from happening.

Booker logged 31 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-15 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 win over the Kings.
Booker was off the court when the Suns began to eat away at Sacramento's double-digit lead, but his seven points in the fourth quarter helped to seal the deal against the Kings, who led by 17 points in the half. Thanks to Booker, the Suns got off to a great start despite the absence of Jalen Green (hamstring), who will miss at least one more game, and possibly more.

Suns' Devin Booker: Ready to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Booker (rest) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Booker missed the end of the preseason for rest purposes, but he's ready to roll for Opening Night. The superstar guard averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per contest in 75 regular-season games in 2024-25, and he should have even more ball-handling duties in the absence of Jalen Green (hamstring).
