Devin Booker On Track To Return On Christmas
2 years agoPhoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (groin) is expected to return to the lineup for the team's Christmas Day matchup against Denver. He has missed the past three games with groin soreness, but sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the Suns star is set to be back against the Nuggets. Booker exited the lineup right after erupting for a huge 58-point performance against New Orleans. He is averaging a career-high 28.0 points per game this season and should have a point to prove after posting just 13 points in his Christmas Day debut last year. Landry Shamet and Damion Lee have logged starts in Booker's absence and his return will have a negative impact on both, although Cameron Payne's (foot) continued absence still keeps some backcourt minutes open.
