Injuries just keep piling up for the Phoenix Suns. Now, they have multiple members set to miss extended time.
Last Saturday, the Suns announced that Devin Booker will be sidelined for at least a week due to a right hip strain he picked up during their recent game against the San Antonio Spurs.
On the same day, the team lost their second-best scorer in Dillon Brooks, who suffered a hand injury against the Orlando Magic. In the team’s latest update, Brooks has been ruled out for the next four to six weeks after undergoing surgery to “repair a fracture in his left hand.”
There’s also Haywood Highsmith, whom the Suns signed during the All-Star break. He was supposed to provide bench depth and another healthy body for Phoenix, but the team ruled him out for another two to three weeks due to a knee injury.
Before the Suns signed Highsmith, there were reports stating that he was “healthy” and actually available to play for the Brooklyn Nets before he was waived. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
