Is there any scuttlebut on the severity of Booker’s “hip strain”? That could mean so many different things

ValleyRalley | Suns

Reported it would be “re-evaluated in a week” which in this current Suns regime means probably two weeks and a minute restriction to ease him back in

Hip injuries are nasty so I get playing it safe but that sucks. Feels like he hasn’t been able to quite find his usual groove this year and now this

I would not be shocked if he takes tomorrow off but is back in the lineup after. It’s his off hand, main thing that gets impacted is dribbling but your hope is book and green stick around so he’s not as taxed

What? No way. You don’t fuck around with hand injuries unless it’s the playoffs or the injury is super minor, like a tiny hairline finger fracture.

Dillon Brooks is not going to miss any opportunity to ~~beat the fuck out of~~ enforce his play onto any opponent, whether its with one hand, or two hands. Give the guy a brace for his hand and you will see this man forearm check peoples arms like a sensei chopping bricks.

I’m pretty sure he uses both hands to shoot the ball. And he doesn’t do it much, but you need a couple hands to play good defense.

The real question is the severity, I guess. Come the playoffs, they’ll need Brooks. They don’t need to worry too much about Warriors and Clippers, but yeah.

You don’t need to root for injury to root for justice. Like when I tell someone “I hope you have the day that you deserve,” if they take it as me wishing harm upon them, that speaks more about them than it does about me.

[Charania]: Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks has sustained a broken left hand and will be sidelined, sources tell ESPN. Doctors will meet to determine a timetable. Brooks is a key part to the playoff-contending Suns, averaging 21+ points and 3+ rebounds this season. Difficult injury blow.
