Booker gets hurt like every 5th game man, it sucks to see.

And this Suns team is crazy top heavy, we have no chance to win any game without Booker playing well every single night.

Big 3: 0-0
Book/KD: 6-2
Book/Beal: 0-0
Beal/KD: 1-2
KD: 2-3
Book: 2-0
Beal: 0-0

Total: 11-7
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

More of a chance with a healthy Book running things rather than Just KD. But why does this feel like this is gonna go on all season with the injuries.

Told yall Book should not be out there. Dude contributed nothing after he came back out. Just let the ankle swell and check it tomorrow. If it's damaged it's damaged - doesn't matter if you have a small window where you have full range of motion or less pain.

Maybe it comes back and he's ok for next game. But if you actually sprained something and the swelling comes later it doesn't mean it was ok to play on.

Like you have to do your job if you're one of the trainers. What the **** are you doing letting someone go out there and they're just standing around doing nothing on court after they left the court with an apparent sprain? Do your jobs.

They could’ve arrived 30 mins before the game and they’d still stomp the Suns.

The Suns won their last game against a good team on the road without KD (and Beal) with Book playing a meh game. This Suns team is deep. They had key guys out today, too.

So that's that. Hopefully Booker is healthy for the IST.

Good news Beal and Booker both injured so can't get injured again and will come back in 2 weeks

Nurk has been awesome. I can’t wait to see him go up against Jokic on Friday.

LeBron and Jordan played 400 playoff games without missing but Booker rolls a body part every month

Maybe because we have a very injury prone team? Some of us called this out in the offseason and were labeled doomers lol.

I’m shocked that Nurkic and KD haven’t missed ton of games already because both of them are very injury prone too. And then off the bench, Gordon and Little are as well.

I just would rather he shave that awful beard and go for the clean look.

Anyway it looks like the only way we can win is with a healthy Book.

KD just doesn't have it despite putting up big stats and Beal who knows if he will ever be healthy.
