Devin Booker
Devin Booker went down with a right hamstring injury in the Phoenix Suns’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 1-0 lead of the Suns in the first round of the playoffs was evened to a 1-1 by a gargantuan comeback from the Pelicans in the second half of the game after Booker went out. In a series shifting moment, Booker’s presence or absence in the coming matches would be a deciding factor in how the matches play out for the Suns who say they have played without their main players multiple times.
Suns coach Monty Williams stated, “We’ve played without Chris [Paul] and Book before. If we have to play without Book, next man up. We’ve done that all year long.” Which highlights his confidence, but it will be interesting to see how things play out for the team in the coming games.
Charles Barkley sat down with the Inside the NBA Panel in order to discuss the future of the Phoenix Suns in this series against the New Orleans Pelicans highlighting that Devin Booker plays a really important role in the team, without whom, the squad might not be able to give the results that are expected from them. Barkley also added that nothing should be taken away from Pelicans and they should be given the due props for winning a game against the Suns, but the discussions would be more about Booker’s injury than their own win, which came out entirely true.
The Phoenix Suns lost to the New Orleans Pelicans by a 11-point margin after a massive comeback from the team which was trailing really bad in the first half during Booker’s presence. Let us take a closer look at what Charles Barkley had to say about Devin Booker and his importance in the Phoenix Suns squad, without whom the situation will be very different.
Charles Barkley’s take on Devin Booker’s injury highlights problems for the Phoenix Suns
Charles Barkley had really strong takes on the Devin Booker injury situation that arose in the Phoenix Suns’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans, which was the game 2 of their first-round playoff series. Devin Booker scored 31 points in the first half, also banking 7 3-pointers which is an exceptional performance, but after that, he didn’t show a lot for over 7 minutes in the 3rd quarter. With 4 minutes 45 seconds remaining on the clock, Booker went to challenge a dunk from Jaxson Hayes, during which he tweaked his right hamstring and ended up injuring himself, post which he called an immediate timeout and went into the locker room.
Charles Barkley on the Inside the NBA Panel stated that Devin Booker’s injury could be really bad news for the Phoenix Suns and could also be a career altering moment for the player himself. Barkley stated that the affects of hamstring injury are terrible as a player could be feeling fine at one point and fatigued at the other, while also adding that it specially sucked keeping in mind the way Booker was playing in the game.
