The Phoenix Suns will enter Wednesday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder without guards Devin Booker and Jalen Green due to ongoing injury management. Booker is sidelined with a right ankle issue, while Green is recovering from a right hamstring injury. Both are officially listed as out for the game in Phoenix.
Additional absences for the Suns include Grayson Allen, who is dealing with a right knee sprain, Isaiah Livers with a left shoulder sprain, and Cole Anthony, who is not currently with the team. Both Allen and Livers are scheduled for evaluations following the NBA All-Star break.
Performance Overview of Devin Booker and Jalen Green This Season
Devin Booker has appeared in 43 games this season, posting a field goal percentage of 45.5% and a three-point shooting rate of 31.1%. He is averaging 25.2 points, four rebounds, and 6.3 assists across 33.9 minutes per game. After missing seven games due to his ankle injury, Booker returned for two contests, contributing 20 points, three rebounds, and 7.5 assists while shooting 42.9% overall and 28.6% from beyond the arc.
Jalen Green is still recovering from his hamstring injury, which has limited him to only seven games with two starts this year. In his recent two-game stint, Green averaged 10 points on 35% shooting and 18.2% from three-point range, with two rebounds and 3.5 assists over 18.5 minutes per game. He has expressed ongoing caution while playing due to the injury.
“I feel myself being a little cautious with certain drives that I could have attempted. Just thinking about it, it’s something you don’t want to happen again obviously,”
Green told reporters on Monday.
“No one wants to be injured.”

“There are times where I think about it, ‘Man, I should have drove,’ but I’m hesitant. That’s going to go out the window once I get some games under my belt and becoming unconscious and forget about it.”

Oklahoma City Thunder Injury Report Ahead of Contest
The Thunder will be missing key players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell due to abdominal strains. Their absence will impact Oklahoma City’s lineup as they travel to face Phoenix on Wednesday.
Implications for Upcoming Suns vs Thunder Matchup
The Suns must adjust their rotation without two of their primary guards, potentially affecting their offensive rhythm and defensive strategies. Booker’s ongoing ankle issues and Green’s hesitation in play highlight challenges the Suns face as they aim to maintain their competitive edge. Meanwhile, the Thunder will also be coping with absences among top contributors, setting the stage for a game influenced heavily by player availability.
Both teams’ injury situations will be closely monitored as the NBA All-Star break approaches, with the potential for roster updates depending on recovery progress. The outcomes of these adjustments will likely shape the Suns and Thunder’s performances in the near term.
