All-Star guard Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns will be sidelined for at least a week due to a sprained right ankle. Booker, a four-time All-Star and the team's leading scorer with 25.4 points per game, was injured during Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He went down with just five seconds left in the third quarter after stepping on Onyeka Okongwu's foot.

The injury occurred during a pivotal moment in the game, with the Suns trailing. Booker's absence will significantly impact the team's offensive strategy, as he also averages 6.2 assists per game. His leadership and scoring ability will be sorely missed, especially with the Suns currently fighting for playoff positioning.

Adding to the Suns' woes, guard Jalen Green re-injured his right hamstring, an injury that has kept him out for 33 games this season. Despite the setback, Green was seen walking without a limp after the game, offering some hope that his injury might not be long-term. The Suns are scheduled for re-evaluation of both players in a week.

This injury comes at a critical time for the Suns, who are in the thick of a competitive Western Conference race. With Booker out, the team will need to rely more heavily on their bench and other starters to maintain their momentum and secure a playoff spot. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how the Suns adapt to this setback and how it affects their performance in the coming weeks.
