The Pheonix Suns will be without guard Devin Booker and a handful of others for their Wednesday night game against the Houston Rockets.
The star guard is dealing with a lower back contusion after scoring 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting to go along with two rebounds and nine assists in just over 39 minutes of work in Tuesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Booker hadn’t missed a game since Dec. 28’s loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Joining Booker as out is sharpshooter Grayson Allen, who is dealing with left knee soreness.
He had nine points on 3-of-9 shooting against the Grizzlies after missing the game prior with the same issue.
Jalen Bridges, meanwhile, will be on G League assignment.
