Whoever advances in this game will take on the battle between the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Somebody will have to step up in the Wednesday night matchup after an update has been released on injured star Devin Booker.<\/p>\n

Devin Booker among players listed as out for the NBA Cup matchup vs. Thunder<\/p>\n

Booker, 29, will miss his third straight game after having to exit early in the Suns’ 125-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 1. It’s unclear when the Phoenix star will return to action for the team.<\/p>\n

Phoenix has struggled to score since Booker has been sidelined. They failed to get above 100 points in their loss against the Houston Rockets<\/a> on Dec. 5 and scored 108 in a close matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n

Green, 23, has been out since Nov. 8 after re-aggravating the hamstring that kept him out for the start of the 2025-26 season. He was seen doing sideline work<\/a> for the Suns’ pregame. Although his designated time for return isn’t clear, expect him to return sometime in December.<\/p>\n

Livers, 27, is still recovering from a hip strain that’s kept him out since late November.<\/p>\n

Booker, Green, and Livers’ next chance to play won’t be for over another week when the Suns take on the Golden State Warriors<\/a> in back-to-back games on Dec. 18 and Dec. 20.<\/p>\n
