Suns' Dillon Brooks Breaks Left Hand, Booker Sidelined at Least a Week

Doctors meet Sunday to set Brooks' timetable, pushing Phoenix to lean on depth through a dense homestand.

Overview

  • ESPN reported Brooks sustained a broken left hand in Saturday's game, with doctors scheduled to determine a recovery timetable and an extended absence expected.
  • Phoenix announced Devin Booker will be re-evaluated in one week for a right hip strain sustained Thursday, with reporting indicating he is likely to miss the next four games based on the schedule.
  • Haywood Highsmith remains out and will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks as he continues rehabilitation from offseason right knee surgery.
  • Short-handed Phoenix edged Orlando 113-110 in double overtime; Brooks exited after seven minutes with five points and three rebounds and was ruled out for the second half.
  • The Suns improved to 33-24 and remain in the West playoff hunt, increasing pressure on Jalen Green and the supporting cast to cover scoring and perimeter defense while key guards recover.
