Phoenix: So, it looks like Devin Booker won’t be playing on Christmas. He’s out again with that groin injury he picked up last week against the Pacers. This will be his third game missed in a row.
Initially, they thought it was just a sore groin, but it turned out to be a left groin strain. Ouch! And it’s not just him; Grayson Allen and Bol Bol are also out for the Suns’ game against the Nuggets.
Speaking of the Nuggets, Jamal Murray is questionable too. He’s dealing with an ankle sprain that kept him out of their last game. It’s a bit of a mess with injuries across the league.
The Lakers are in a similar boat. LeBron, Anthony Davis, and D’Angelo Russell are all listed as questionable for their game against the Warriors. LeBron had the same issue on Monday but still played, so who knows what will happen.
Over in Boston, the Celtics have Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White all questionable for their game against the 76ers. Tatum missed their last game due to illness, so it’s a tough spot for them too.
On a brighter note, Luka Doncic is probable for the Mavericks after missing a couple of games. He’s back just in time for their matchup against the Timberwolves. Fingers crossed for a good game!
