Sidelined for at least one week
Booker will have his right hip strain re-evaluated by medical staff in one week, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.
Analyse
Booker sustained the injury during the Suns' loss to the Spurs on Thursday, and he'll be out of action until at least early March, at which point the team's medical staff will provide an updated timeline for the veteran guard's return. Jordan Goodwin, Collin Gillespie and Jalen Green will all take on larger roles for the Suns for as long as Booker is sidelined.

Won't play Saturday
Booker (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Magic.
Analyse
Booker will return to the sidelines after tweaking his hip in Thursday's loss to the Spurs, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. Booker's absence will open up minutes for Jordan Goodwin, and it'll likely be Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie doing the heavy lifting on offense.

Exits early Thursday
Booker won't return to Thursday's game against the Spurs due to right hip soreness, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Analyse
Booker exited to the locker room late in the second quarter and won't play in the second half. He'll finish with five points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across nine minutes. Jordan Goodwin started the third quarter in Booker's place, though Amir Coffey could also see a bump in minutes the rest of the way. Booker's next opportunity to play will come Saturday against Orlando.

Exits to locker room
Booker (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Analyse
It's unclear why Booker headed back to the locker room late in the first half, though he should be considered questionable to return for the second until more information comes to light. He has tallied five points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across nine minutes thus far.

Plays supporting role Sunday
Booker logged 28 total minutes Sunday across Team Stars' three games at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, finishing with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and eight assists.
Analyse
Booker started in all three games for the Stars, recording no more than five points in any contest while taking a back seat to backcourt mate and MVP Anthony Edwards (32 points on 13-for-22 shooting). Prior to All-Star weekend, Booker had missed the Suns' most recent game Wednesday versus the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, but he should be good to go for Phoenix's first contest of the second half Thursday in San Antonio.

Good to go for All-Star Game
Booker (ankle) will play for Team Stars on Sunday in the NBA's All-Star weekend event in Los Angeles.
Analyse
Booker missed Phoenix's loss to the Thunder on Wednesday -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, the five-time All-Star isn't expected to face any limitations during Sunday's exhibition. Through 43 appearances with the Suns this season, Booker has averaged 25.2 points, 6.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 33.9 minutes per game.
