UPDATE: Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker suffered a right ankle injury during a tense match against the Atlanta Hawks on October 27, 2023. The injury occurred with just five seconds remaining in the third quarter, forcing Booker to leave the game in visible pain.
Booker, a four-time All-Star, was having a stellar performance, scoring 31 points in 28 minutes before the injury struck.
