Devin Booker Off Injury Report, Haywood Highsmith Could Debut as Suns Face Kings The Phoenix Suns received a significant boost ahead of their matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, as star shooting guard Devin Booker was removed from the injury report. Booker had been sidelined due to a left hamstring strain that he suffered during the team's previous game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Booker's return to the court is expected to be a major lift for the Suns, who have struggled to find consistency on offense without their leading scorer. In 26 games this season, Booker has averaged 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per contest, making him one of the most important players in Phoenix's rotation. However, the Suns may not be at full strength just yet, as rookie big man Jalen Smith is still recovering from a left ankle sprain that has kept him out for the past few games. Smith has been a valuable contributor off the bench for Phoenix this season, averaging 5.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14 minutes per game. In other news, the Suns may be getting some much-needed depth at power forward. Haywood Highsmith, a 23-year-old rookie out of Winthrop University, is expected to make his NBA debut against the Kings after signing a two-way contract with Phoenix earlier this week. Highsmith has been impressing coaches and teammates alike during his time in the G-League, averaging 14.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. The addition of Highsmith could be a significant boost for the Suns, who have struggled to find consistent production at power forward this season. With Booker back on the court and potentially getting some help from Highsmith off the bench, Phoenix is looking to get back on track after a tough stretch of games.#Phoenix_Suns #Devin_Booker #Sacramento_Kings #Haywood_Highsmith #Los_Angeles_Lakers #Winthrop_University
