Devin Booker out until next week due to mid-foot injury
Jared Greenberg: NEW: Devin Booker is out tonight due to a left mid-foot sprain which he suffered during Tiesday’s win at Golden State. A team source tells me Booker is aiming to return to action Tuesday pending the results of an MRI which he will receive when the team returns home. @NBAonTNT

“They’re playing with two big stars. It’s going to be different when you play without Book and Beal.”
“Every night it’s somebody. I just try to do what the team wants me to do.”

That’s absolutely a game the Suns could and should have won. Even a mediocre 4Q seals the win. But I personally wouldn’t panic over it either. Bench guys have gotta be better, but they won’t be relied on so heavily with, ya know, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal – 12:45 AM

Phoenix closed the 3rd Q on a 9-2 run, with Durant scoring the final 6 points to reach 30, and put the Suns up 84-72.
No Beal, no Booker, but Durant’s had a lot of good looks. – 12:03 AM

The Suns have some good role players. But did not survive the minutes without Kevin Durant in the 2nd Q. Doesn’t help that Beal and Booker are already out. – 11:00 PM

Lakers are playing so sloppy. DLo running into teammates while trying to set screens. Anthony Davis jumping at pump fakes like he’s a rookie. Settling for jumpers. Not blocking out. They should blow out the Suns without Booker or Beal. – 10:31 PM

Curious to see how much differently the Suns are able to play without Booker. In theory it sounds simple to have it turn into a KD-oriented offense but there’s still a certain type of guard play needed. Big nights for Allen, Gordon and Goodwin. We will find out pretty quickly. – 9:28 PM

Frank Vogel wouldn’t say starters, saying he’s back in L.A.
“Stay tuned.”
I’ll project starters when considering who they started when Devin Booker and Bradley Beal missed final preseason game vs. Lakers. #Suns
Grayson Allen
Eric Gordon
Josh Okogie
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic – 8:42 PM

NEW: Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and James Harden will be missing in tonight’s TNT games.
Last season, that would be the end of the story.

I have a hard time picking the Phoenix Suns to win at an elite level because they won’t participate at an elite level. Beal and Booker put tonight…KD will probably injure himself during warmups. – 5:50 PM

Mike Trudell: Darvin Ham on Phoenix, and trying to avoid the NBA tendency of relaxing when opposing stars (Booker and Beal) are out: “They have a lot of firepower over there still. This is not going to be a cakewalk by any means.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / October 26, 2023
