ESPN Sources: Phoenix Suns All-Star G Devin Booker (hamstring strain) is progressing toward a return soon, including the possibility as soon as Game 6 or Game 7 of this playoff series vs. New Orleans. He’s expected to be initially listed as out for Thursday’s Game 6.

So true I hope he plays game 6 so I don't have to see this clown run on the court every time out crying to the refs in some bad outfit.

Out for Game 6, Pels roll

Comes back in for game 7 and pushes it, bad shots, rough time adjusting - Pels win

See you in Dallas.

The Suns must be panicking if they want to take the risk of rushing him back with an injury that can linger for weeks.

But if they lose, he absolutely will Game 7.

Out means out, so there's no "initially out" and then playing. If he might play he can be "game time decision."

They will save him for a game 7 and hope the extra 2 days helps him.

Why our team fricking around in game 3 was so terrible.

But, there's always the chance that if we make it go 7, Booker will disrupt things by forcing himself into the game when he's rusty.

All I know is the Suns are dead after this series. CP3 is already losing his legs and this is just the first round.

The Suns never released a timeline themselves.

Windhorst put out the 2-3 week thing by googling WebMD.

People forget Booker played Games 3-6 of the Finals last year with the same injury and dropped 40+ in Games 4 and 5.

If Booker is playing, he believes he’ll be effective.

He might come back, but if he does his offense won't be the issue. His game can still score with that leg. The question will be his defense if he's not 100%. If he's gimpy we might have 2 options to hunt, and that'll keep one of their wing defenders on the bench for his minutes. Might be a high scoring game if he comes back.

Would be an all time hilarious panic move to bring him back for game 6.

Agreed. If the Suns thought he had any chance of playing in game 6, they would have at least listed him as doubtful and then possibly upgraded him to questionable (with game-time decision status) as time progressed.

They better hope their breakthrough shooting from 3 last game carries over for their role guys or they’re fricked. Book will be fine but CP is FEELING it. He’s gonna catch an injury because of the series against us

I disagree. In my humble opinion, they know the window for a championship is very small, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity, and it means risking it all.

Us, on the other hand, I really hope that we are holding Zion out due to health issues, and not trying to save him for next year. In the NBA, nothing is guaranteed, for you have good players all over the league that missed a tremendous amount of time on the court. If all of our pieces are healthy, they should play.
