Devin Booker, Jalen Green questionable for Suns-Thunder

Phoenix Suns guards Devin Booker (right ankle injury management) and Jalen Green (right hamstring injury management) are listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Additionally, Grayson Allen (right knee sprain), Isaiah Livers (left shoulder sprain) and Cole Anthony (not with team) are out. Both Allen and Livers will be reevaluated after the NBA All-Star break.

Booker has appeared in the past two games for Phoenix, shooting 42.9% from the floor and 28.6% from deep. He averaged 20 points, three rebounds and 7.5 assists across 32 minutes per game.

Before these past two games, Booker had missed seven games with the ankle issue.

On the year (43 games), Booker is shooting 45.5% from the floor and 31.1% from 3-point land. He’s averaging 25.2 points, four rebounds and 6.3 assists across 33.9 minutes per game.

Green, meanwhile, is coming off his own two-game stretch after missing time with his lingering hamstring injury.

In his return to the court, Green averaged 10 points per game on 35% shooting and 18.2% from long range. He added two rebounds and 3.5 assists across 18.5 minutes per game.

Before Phoenix’s win over the Dallas Mavericks, Green acknowledged he was still searching for normalcy due to the hamstring issue that’s limited him to just seven games played (two starts) this year.

“I feel myself being a little cautious with certain drives that I could have attempted. Just thinking about it, it’s something you don’t want to happen again obviously,” Green told reporters on Monday. “No one wants to be injured.

“There are times where I think about it, ‘Man, I should have drove,’ but I’m hesitant. That’s going to go out the window once I get some games under my belt and becoming unconscious and forget about it.”
