Report: Suns' Devin Booker Could Miss 2-3 Weeks with Grade 1 Hamstring Strain Injury

According to Brian Windhorst, the Phoenix Suns star guard is going to be out for two to three weeks with a hamstring injury.

The 25-year-old left the second half of Phoenix's 125-114 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 2 of their Western Conference playoffs first-round series. The Suns lost because Booker scored 31 points in the first half.

The Phoenix Suns were the best team in basketball during the regular season, going 64-18, but it isn't winning a title without Booker. He was the team's leading scorer and its second most important player, teaming with point guard Chris Paul to give the Suns the NBA's best backcourt.

Without him, they went 8-6) in the regular season. When Booker is unavailable, they are a different team.

Phoenix had a mostly intact and healthy roster going into the playoffs, ready to finally get over the championship hump. Booker's health is threatening those goals.

Look for the Suns to have bigger roles for Johnson and Shamet while he is out.
