Devin Booker takes on a huge part of the offensive for the Phoenix Suns. Alongside DeAndre Ayton and Chris Paul, the team managed by Monty Williamsare trying to emulate what they did last season, but have struggled with injuries, and under-performed players through the current season.

As Devin Booker has averaged 27points, 5assists and 4rebounds in 29 games this season,he is by far the best player in the Suns’ roster. None other player in the team managed by Monty Williams has more than 20 points per game. Even Ayton, who signed a max-deal to stay in Phoenix.

However, the Suns hold the 5th place in the Western Conference with the Dallas Maverickson the lookout just one game behind. Even so, the Suns are currently in four-game losing streak. In fact, the Suns’ last win was over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Footprint Center.

When isDevin Booker going to be available to play for the Phoenix Suns?

December has been a tough month for Devin Booker due to injuries. In fact, Booker has played eight games out of 14 scheduled matches.The team managed by Monty Williams suffers so much that Booker isn’ton the court, that they have a 2-5record in those games.

The last time he played was against the Denver Nuggets at the Christmas Day loss. After only four minutes on the court, Booker felt pain again, and was benched the rest of the game. A day after the match against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Suns revealed “Devin Booker has sustained a left groin strain. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.”

Meaning Booker couldbe available just in time to be part of the All-Star weekend, as well as the rest of the regular season schedule for the Phoenix Suns. However, its unsafe to assume a certaintime for his return to the court yet.
