Won't play Wednesday
Booker (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Analysis
Booker will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be back in action for Phoenix's first game after the break Feb. 19 in San Antonio. Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (knee) will join Booker on the inactive list Wednesday night, so Collin Gillespie will likely shoulder a heavy load on offense, while Jordan Goodwin should get all the run he can handle.

Questionable for Wednesday
Booker is questionable to face the Thunder on Wednesday due to right ankle injury management.
Analysis
The Suns are on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and given Booker returned just two games ago, there's a chance the medical staff will err on the side of caution and hold him out of Wednesday's game. If Booker is ruled out, Jordan Goodwin would see a boost.

Chips in 19 points
Booker contributed 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Phoenix's 120-111 win over the Mavericks.
Analysis
In just his second game back from a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Booker appeared to play without a heavy minutes restriction once again. With the Suns facing the Thunder on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back set, he may see some restrictions or be held out as a precaution.

Returns with 21 points, nine dimes
Booker (ankle) provided 21 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), nine assists and two rebounds across 32 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.
Analysis
Booker showed no signs of being hobbled by injury and didn't appear to be operating with a minutes restriction Saturday in what was his return from a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Recently named an All-Star for the fifth time, Booker could be in line for a rest day during the upcoming week, when the Suns will close out their first-half schedule with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the Mavericks and Thunder, respectively.

Good to go Saturday
Booker (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Booker will shake off his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. However, he'll operate under an unspecified minutes restriction, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Over 11 January appearances before picking up the ankle injury, the star guard averaged 25.3 points, 5.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game. He shot 45.3 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from downtown over that stretch.

Could return Saturday
Booker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Booker has a chance to return Saturday from a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. His return would be timely, given that Grayson Allen (knee) has been ruled out. Booker averaged 26.6 points, 4.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds over 34.6 minutes per game across his five outings prior to his current injury.
