The Phoenix Suns will re-evaluate star guard Devin Booker\u2019s right hip strain in one week, and forward Haywood Highsmith will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks as he continues his knee rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Highsmith is continuing to work back from his right knee surgery last offseason and is making good progress, the team said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Saturday will be Booker\u2019s 13th game missed this season and ninth in the last 12 games.<\/p>\n

In his 44 games this season, Booker is averaging 24.7 points, 6.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game.<\/p>\n

Allen had been\u00a0dealing with a knee issue before the All-Star break and sprained his ankle in shootaround after the break.<\/p>\n
