On Friday night, the Phoenix Suns will host the Dallas Mavericks in Arizona.

For the game, they will remain without one of their best players, as Devin Booker has been ruled out.

The ten-year veteran has missed each of the previous three games, so this will be his fourth straight out of the lineup.

Via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports on Thursday: "Devin Booker (left groin strain), Grayson Allen (concussion protocol) and Bol Bol (left knee contusion) remain out for the Suns' game against the Mavs tomorrow"
