On April 20, Beijing time, the Phoenix Suns lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 114-125, and the total score was pulled to a 1-1 draw. Devin Booker played only 25 minutes and scored 31 points, missing out on the follow-up games due to a hamstring strain.
Booker's injury was a turning point in the game, and after he went off the bench, the Suns were missing an offensive fulcrum. Although the Suns still have a chance to win the series after losing a home game, Booker's injury casts a shadow over the subsequent showdown.
Harden was due to a hamstring strain in the playoffs last year, and after his comeback, he performed poorly in the Series between the Nets and bucks, and his offensive status was much worse than before. Now The American sports medicine expert Jeffries has given predictions of Various Injuries of Booker based on observations.
If it was just a leg strain, Booker could be placed on the Daily Watch List; if it was a first-degree strain, Booker would be on a 7-10-day suspension; if it was a second-degree strain, Booker would need to take a few weeks off. Everything needs to wait for the results of Booker's MRI tomorrow before a final decision can be made.
If Booker is unable to participate in the game because of a hamstring injury, or affects the individual competitive state, then the Suns are likely to face a more serious situation. If you are out of the first round of the playoffs as the first in the league, it will be a big blow for the Suns.
