Devin Booker and Jalen Green, key players for the Phoenix Suns, will be missing Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to injuries. Booker, who has been managing a right ankle injury, has been playing in recent games but with limited effectiveness. He's shooting 42.9% from the floor and 28.6% from deep, averaging 20 points, three rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. Before these games, he missed seven games due to the ankle issue. This season, Booker is averaging 25.2 points, four rebounds, and 6.3 assists across 33.9 minutes per game. Green, on the other hand, is returning from a two-game stretch after dealing with a right hamstring injury. In his return, he averaged 10 points on 35% shooting and 18.2% from long range, adding two rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Green acknowledged his cautious approach due to the hamstring issue, which has limited him to just seven games this year. The Suns' other injuries include Grayson Allen (right knee sprain), Isaiah Livers (left shoulder sprain), and Cole Anthony (not with the team). Allen and Livers will be reevaluated after the NBA All-Star break. Meanwhile, the Thunder's injury report includes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell, both out with abdominal strains. The game promises to be a challenging one for both teams, with key players on the sidelines.
