The Phoenix Suns will have to wait a little longer for one of its superstars to return from injury. According to Suns reporter Duane Rankin, guard Devin Booker will miss Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. Booker is dealing with a right calf issue. The Suns will also be without Bradley Beal and Damion Lee for Sunday’s game. It’s unclear how long Booker will be out.

IN THE DESERT, A BOOKER IS REQUIRED

The Phoenix Suns have had a difficult start to the season. The Suns have dropped three straight games, and Booker has been hampered by injury. The young guard appeared in just two games during the regular season. When he’s in the Suns lineup, he’s done a lot on offense, averaging more than 31 points per game, which is a team record. He also contributes to the offense with his passing, averaging more than 10 assists each game. This season, Phoenix has played Booker an average of 36 minutes each game, indicating that he is absolutely needed on the court.

Phoenix is depending on veteran Kevin Durant to get the job done without Booker. Durant leads the club in scoring with 28 points per game. He also averages 7 rebounds per game and plays 36 minutes each game. Kevin Durant will have to carry the weight for the Suns again on Sunday.

Fortunately for Phoenix, Detroit is also experiencing difficulties. The Pistons are also coming off three straight losses. Cade Cunningham leads the Pistons in scoring, averaging just under 23 points per game.

Phoenix and Detroit are both 2-4 entering Sunday’s game. The game begins at 3 p.m. Eastern.
