Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker suffered a right groin injury during Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, forcing him to exit the contest with 2:05 remaining in the first quarter. The 27-year-old guard will not return to the game, finishing with 11 points, three assists, and two rebounds in 10 minutes. Booker's remarkable performance was cut short, but not before he made NBA history by becoming the third-youngest player to reach 17,000 points and 3,600 assists. Only LeBron James and Oscar Robertson achieved this feat faster. With Booker out, the Suns will rely on Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin, and Jamaree Bouyea to fill the void. The team will not play again until Friday against the Houston Rockets, when they are expected to provide an update on Booker's condition. The Suns have maintained a winning record this season despite a roster shake-up, which saw the departure of several All-Stars, including Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Booker has been a key contributor, averaging 25.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists in 21 games, shooting 45 percent from the field and 31 percent from three.
