Devin Booker, an All-Star guard for the Phoenix Suns, was forced to miss a game on Thursday due to left hip pain.
Bradley Beal is still on the list but is likely to play as he continues to treat a sprained right ankle. Following meniscus surgery, Damion Lee is still recovering.Chris Paul, a former point guard for the Suns, missed the Warriors game due to surgery in January to treat a fractured left hand.
Coach Frank Vogel stated that Booker would be day-to-day after the guard missed Thursday’s victory against the Jazz, but it seems that the one game missed was all that was needed. Booker may still miss seven games and still be eligible for awards this season because he has already missed ten.
Beal, who was a game-time decision due to an ankle sprain, stepped up to give 30 points and seven assists while Grayson Allen tallied a career-high 14 assists on Thursday in Booker’s absence.
Royce O’Neale and David Roddy, two recent signings, may make their debuts on the road against the Warriors on Saturday. Along with two more home games against the Kings and Pistons before seven days off, it’s the last road game before the All-Star break.
On February 22, the team will resume play with a trip to Dallas, marking the start of a 27-game streak that will conclude the regular season.
