\u2014 Bull Run (@run_bull_) April 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The Suns immediately called a timeout while Booker went to the locker room before he eventually came back. He missed roughly two minutes of game time. <\/p>\n This article will be updated if more info becomes available. Phoenix is currently trailing OKC in the third quarter with a 2-0 series deficit. <\/p>\n More on Suns vs Thunder<\/p>\n The Suns have unfortunately dealt with injuries all throughout the season, which impacted practically everybody in the lineup \u2014 including Booker, who suffered previously from ankle and hip injuries. <\/p>\n Booker’s found himself in headlines this past week after some notable comments made about the officiating in their first-round series against the Thunder. <\/p>\n “I’m surprised this is happening on national tv, in the playoff games,” Booker said<\/a> after Game 2, which earned him a nice fan from the NBA. <\/p>\n “It’s hard, it feels disrespectful. I know I haven’t won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud, it’s bad. It’s my first time in 11 years but it’s needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from.”<\/p>\n While the Suns have seen co-stars in Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks struggle at different points in their first-round series, Booker’s been a constant presence in either sucking gravity on the court or stuffing the box score. <\/p>\n With Phoenix down 2-0, Suns coach Jordan Ott was asked about Booker’s killer instinct with their backs now against the wall. <\/p>\n “I think he has the killer instinct right now. I don’t think that’s an on-off switch. I think he always has it. He’s in a good place. We’ve got to help him more,” Ott said ahead of Game 3. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
