PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have announced that guard Devin Booker will be sidelined for at least the next two games due to soreness in his left groin. This marks another setback for the team’s starting lineup, which has struggled with injuries throughout the season.

Booker left the game against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday during the second half and did not return to the action. The four-time All-Star has been a significant contributor for the Suns, averaging 25.1 points and 6.4 assists per game this season. The organization indicated that he will be re-evaluated at the beginning of next week.

The Suns have faced challenges with their All-Star trio, which includes Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Booker, rarely playing together over the past month. Both Beal and Durant have had their fair share of injuries, each missing 10 games this season. These issues are contributing factors to the team’s struggles, as the Suns have lost 11 out of their last 17 games.

As a result of Booker’s absence, he will not participate in the upcoming matches against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday and the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Suns will need to navigate these challenges as they look to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
