Devin Booker Nearing Return Next Week from Hip Strain

Devin Booker (hip strain) is progressing well and is expected to return to the Phoenix Suns' lineup next week, with potential appearances either Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings or Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. He missed four games due to the hip strain, which occurred in his first game back after a seven-game absence from an ankle injury. Booker will likely face minutes restrictions upon his return. The Suns went 1-3 in his last four missed games. Teammate Jordan Goodwin is approximately a week behind Booker in his recovery timeline.
