The Phoenix Suns ruled All-Star Devin Booker out and guard Jalen Green questionable for Tuesday’s road game at the Portland Trail Blazers.
Booker will miss his sixth straight game with a sprained right ankle, and the Suns have gone 3-2 without him in this stretch.
Green continues to be a mainstay on the injury report due to right hamstring injury management and a right hip contusion after he took a hard fall on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He did not play in Phoenix’s 117-93 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday after playing 15:34 against Cleveland.
The first-year Sun has been held to five games played this season primarily due to hamstring issues.
Trail Blazers could be shorthanded vs. Suns
Portland may also enter the matchup shorthanded, having ruled All-Star Deni Avdija doubtful with a lower back strain. Avdija, who is averaging a career-high 25.5 points and 6.7 assists per game this season, did not dress on Sunday for a Trail Blazers loss to Cleveland.
Scoot Henderson, who has not played a game this year, is doubtful with a left hamstring tear.
Veteran guard Jrue Holiday is questionable for personal reasons.
Forwards Kris Murray (lumbar strain) and Matisse Thybulle (right knee tendinopathy) are out, as is point guard Damian Lillard, who has not played this season after tearing his left Achilles.
Phoenix defeated Portland 127-110 in their first matchup of this season back on Nov. 18.
Tuesday’s game tips off at 9 p.m. MST. It will air nationally on NBC with streaming on Peacock while remaining available locally on AZ Family 3TV and Suns+.
The game will also air on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
