Drops 32 points in victory
Booker notched 32 points (10-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Friday's 118-116 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis
After scoring 27 points in Thursday's loss to Chicago, Booker delivered another strong scoring performance. The star guard turned in an efficient showing from beyond the arc en route to game highs in points and triples. He also recorded multiple steals for a second consecutive contest. Over three appearances since returning from a four-game absence due to a hip strain, Booker has averaged 25.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.7 minutes per tilt.

Totals 27 points in loss
Booker recorded 27 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 loss to the Bulls.
Analysis
Booker was asked to lead the charge in the scoring column on a night when Jalen Green couldn't get his shot to fall. Booker answered the call and paced the Suns with 27 points, but more importantly, he logged 30-plus minutes and looked healthy in just his second game back from a right hip strain.

Returns with 17 points
Booker racked up 17 points (6-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.
Analysis
The Suns managed to go 2-2 with Booker out of the lineup, but his return was a great boost for a team teetering on the fringe of playoff contention. The All-Star played 31 minutes with no restrictions in his return, and we were able to witness the complete backcourt with Jalen Green available. Booker and Green have had only seven chances to play alongside each other due to injuries from both players, and the healthy duo should dramatically increase the Suns' fortunes down the stretch.

Not listed on injury report
Booker (hip) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Kings.
Analysis
Booker is ready to make his return to the hardwood after missing Phoenix's last four matchups while tending to a right hip strain. The star guard has had some tough injury luck lately, as he also dealt with an ankle issue before the All-Star break; therefore, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Suns monitor Booker's minutes closely in his first game back.
