Suns Reveal Status of Devin Booker vs Timberwolves

The Phoenix Suns could possibly see Devin Booker back against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

PHOENIX -- Don't look now, but the Phoenix Suns could potentially be getting Devin Booker back in the mix. 

After missing the previous five games with a calf strain, Booker has been ruled probable for tomorrow vs Minnesota. 

Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin first reported earlier Tuesday that Booker would make his return. 

"Sources have informed The Arizona Republic that Devin Booker is expected to make his return Wednesday after missing five straight games with a right calf strain and Bradley Beal will also play after tweaking his back again in Sunday’s home loss to Oklahoma City."

He's dealt with toe problems on top of a sprained ankle, which has seen the superstar play in only two of Phoenix's ten games thus far. 

However, he's played fairly strong in those games, averaging 31.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists in the two contests he's played. 

The Suns are just 4-6 thus far, and center Jusuf Nurkic had a fairly simple explanation for the slow start. 

“We’re missing supermax players,” Nurkic said last week. 

“It’s as simple as it is. When you have that level of players and they’re not available, you’re obviously going to struggle some minutes. Fourth quarter got to be better.”

Suns guard Bradley Beal - as confirmed by Rankin - is also likely to suit up despite lower back tightness. He's played in the last three games for Phoenix and is also probable. 

Suns-Wolves will tip just after 7:00 PM. Minnesota will be coming off a back-to-back after playing the Golden State Warriors tonight.
