  • Phoenix is 34-26 and seventh in the West, two games back of the sixth-place Lakers, and went 4-7 in February with a pronounced offensive dip.
  • AZ Central reports Booker has played 44 games and needs 21 of the final 22 to reach the NBA’s 65-game threshold for award eligibility.
  • Dillon Brooks remains out following left hand surgery with a four-to-six week re-evaluation timeline, and Jordan Goodwin is ramping up from a left calf strain.
