Suns star Devin Booker out at least 1 week with groin injury

Devin Booker’s groin injury appears to be minimal.

The Phoenix Suns star sustained a right groin strain in Monday night’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He’ll be evaluated again in one week, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. If that’s the case, Booker may end up only missing two games for the Suns.

Booker started Monday’s 125-108 win over the Lakers normally, and put up 11 points in the first quarter at Crypto.com Arena. But Booker suddenly checked out of the game with just more than two minutes left in the period, and never returned.

It’s not known when he actually injured his groin, but the Suns quickly ruled him out with the injury.

The Suns, who sit at 13-9 on the season, will take on the Houston Rockets next on Friday and then travel to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. If Booker can return in just a week, he’d in theory be available for next Wednesday night’s game with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
