On Wednesday, the Phoenix Suns will host the Denver Nuggets in Arizona.

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

The former Kentucky star has missed each of the previous two games, so this will be his third straight out of action.

Via Underdog NBA: "Devin Booker (groin) listed out for Wednesday."

Booker is averaging 25.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range in 26 games.
