The Phoenix Suns hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at Footprint Center for Game 2 of the series. It was a closely contested and head-to-head match-up between the two. But with four minutes and thirty-five seconds remaining for the third quarter to end the Suns lost Devin Booker who trying to stop a Jaxson Hayes layup got his hamstring hurt as a result of a bad landing.

Monty Williams after the game speaking about the future of the team regarding Devin Booker’s injury quoted: “If we have to play without Book, next man up.” He is ready to go for a war with the Pelicans no matter what players he has since there’s no schedule as of now for the return of Devin Booker. But surely Monty Williams will showcase his great coaching skills and build around other players so the team can advance as soon as possible by getting the easiest dubs they can.

But the injury is more concerning as there is not a lot out about it yet and everyone is well aware with the effects a hamstring injury brings. This was his second time hurting his lower body as he was out for three weeks in November due to a very similar injury. The team during that period won the most they can but now playing away in a playoff game surely changes the scenario. The New Orleans Pelicans now will be hosting the Phoenix Suns at the Smoothie King Center for Game 3 on Friday 22nd April.
