Phoenix Suns Guard Devin Booker to Miss Christmas Day Game Against Denver Nuggets
The Phoenix Suns will be without their star guard Devin Booker for Wednesday’s highly anticipated Christmas Day game against the Denver Nuggets. Booker has been ruled out due to a groin strain, which he suffered in the third quarter of a loss to the Indiana Pacers last week. This will be the third consecutive game that Booker has missed, and the Suns have lost both games without him.
Booker’s absence is a significant blow to the Suns, who will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses. The team will be relying on other players to step up and fill the void left by Booker’s injury.
Meanwhile, several other top players in the league are listed as questionable for their respective Christmas Day games. Los Angeles Lakers stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James are both listed as questionable due to injury concerns. Davis is dealing with a shoulder issue, while James is managing an unspecified injury. Both players suited up for the Lakers’ home loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night.
In other injury news, Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Suns due to an ankle injury. Murray missed the Nuggets’ home win over the Suns on Monday, and his status for the rematch is uncertain.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is also listed as questionable for his team’s Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tatum missed the Celtics’ loss to the Orlando Magic on Monday due to an illness, and his status for Wednesday’s game is up in the air.
One player who is expected to play on Christmas Day is Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic. Doncic missed two games last week with a left heel injury but returned to action on Monday for a win over the Portland Trail Blazers. However, Doncic is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, so his status will be worth monitoring.
Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting Christmas Day in the NBA, with several top teams and players in action. However, the injury bug has bitten several teams, which could impact the outcome of some of these games.
