The Phoenix Suns dropped a tough game in a 2021 NBA Finals rematch against the Milwaukee Bucks over the weekend, losing by 10. Had the Suns had Devin Booker in the lineup, the outcome could have been different.
Booker has missed the last three games because he was placed in the league’s health and safety protocols on March 2nd.
The number of missed games will climb to at least four, as Booker is also listed out on the NBA’s official injury report for tonight’s matchup when the Phoenix Suns play on the road vs the Orlando Magic.
The Suns should be able to handle the rebuilding Orlando Magic even without Booker in the lineup, but the second half of their back-to-back set in Florida against the Miami Heat will be a lot tougher without their All-Star in the lineup.

It is hard to imagine Booker would be cleared and physically fit to play tomorrow night, so he will likely miss at least five consecutive games.
When the Phoenix Suns return home for games against the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers this weekend could be when we see Devin Booker back in the starting lineup.
