Is Devin Booker Playing Tonight Against the Timberwolves?

The Phoenix Suns will be facing the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at the Footprint Center. Regular season basketball is back after an eventful round of the NBA In-Season Tournament. It must be mentioned that the Timberwolves are coming off a win against the Golden State Warriors.

For some context, Draymond Green, Klay Thomspon, and Jaden McDaniels were ejected even before the first bucket. Draymond’s chokehold on Rudy Gobert sparked huge controversy, and many have turned against the Warriors superstar after a violent act. However, there was no serious injury to Gobert, and he looks fit to face the Phoenix Suns tonight.

Speaking of injuries, the Suns have not had much luck in recent weeks. They have not lined up their big three of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal together this season. Beal suffered multiple injuries right away, as did Booker. However, it looks like Suns fans could be receiving some good news today.

Booker has only played two games so far this season. The last time he set foot on the court was against the San Antonio Spurs, on November 2. He will be returning from a right calf sprain tonight. Moreover, it will be the first NBA regular season game where Booker will feature alongside KD and Beal.

Eric Gordon and Damion Lee remain on the Suns’ injury report. They will be on the sidelines because of shoulder and knee injuries respectively.
