Overview
- Booker is active for March 3 at Sacramento after missing four games with a right hip strain, and coach Jordan Ott said there were no setbacks following 5-on-5 practice work.
- He has appeared in 44 games and needs 21 more to reach the NBA’s 65-game threshold for end‑of‑season award eligibility.
- Phoenix enters at 34-26 in seventh place in the West and opens a favorable March run against the league-worst Kings, whom the Suns have beaten three times this season.
- Recently signed Haywood Highsmith is not on the injury report, while Dillon Brooks (fractured left hand) remains out pending a 4–6 week reevaluation and Jordan Goodwin (left calf) is ramping up toward a check-in.
- Without Booker over the last four games, the Suns went 2-2 and ranked 29th in offensive rating, highlighting his impact as their leading scorer and assist provider.
