Phoenix Suns are 6-4 in their last 10 but the remaining players need to hold the forth some more as they won’t have Devin Booker and Jalen Green for a few more days at least. Both guys have missed the last three games and they went 2-1 in that span.
The two losses were from the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. Green helped them in the win versus Philadelphia 76ers but was forced out just four minutes into their game versus Atlanta.
Dillon Brooks said Green could return soon and that they are willing to step up to keep the team aligned without them.
“He should be back soon again. Just precautionary thing, but still got to work at it. Still got to strengthen it,” he said when asked about Green.
“Sometimes a minor tweak, you got to play through that sometimes. Overall, we’re holding down the fort and you know, next guys up.”
Green suffered his second injury in-game this season. First was when he returned in November and the second one was on January 23 against the Hawks.
Devin Booker is in same situation
Practice footages showed Booker is already doing shooting drills. Like Green, he got injured in the middle of the game against the Hawks. He was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain.
Coach Jordan Ott said they are being careful with their star.
