Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker placed in COVID-19 health and safety protocol
Booker previously entered the protocols this season in September and missed media day and the start of training camp.
Booker is a three-time All-Star and the team’s leading scorer, averaging 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. The 25-year-old’s absence is another blow to the Suns, who are also missing fellow All-Star guard Chris Paul.
Paul broke his thumb Feb. 16 and could miss the rest of the regular season, though the team is hopeful he will return before the playoffs.
