Devin Booker Leaves Game 2 Due To Hamstring Injury

On Tuesday night, the New Orleans Pelicans won Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series against the Phoenix Suns 125-114. Devin Booker, a star for the Suns, was hurt in the game. 

Booker scored 31 points and made seven 3-pointers in the first half. Then, he didn’t score in the third quarter, and he looked like he hurt his right hamstring with 4:45 to go in the period. It was right away that Booker asked for a break and went to the locker room.

He will be tested and treated on Wednesday. There will be the third game in New Orleans on Friday, and it is called Game 3.

Monty Williams, the coach of the Suns, said, “We’ll know more tomorrow.” “Without Chris [Paul] and Book, we’ve played before. Next person up if we can’t play without Book. Because we’ve done it for the whole year,”

After the Pelicans player was injured, the team changed direction. They played well down the stretch. Team Brandon Ingram led them. He made a lot of important shots and scored 26 of his 37 points in the second half, which is when he had 26 of his 37 points. Besides 11 rebounds and nine assists, Ingram also had 11 rebounds and nine assists.

for the last two years, Booker has had hamstring problems

Booker has had hamstring problems for the last two years. At some point in November, the same thing happened again, and he had to miss seven games because of it. During last year’s NBA Finals, he got hurt in Game 3. He played through it and kept it a secret. It was also during the 2020-21 regular season that he got a left hamstring injury and had to miss four games, so he didn’t play then.

The Suns were 8-6 this season when they didn’t have Booker in them.

‘It’s part of the game,’ said Paul, who had 14 assists but only made five of 16 shots. Killing: “He was having a great game.”

The Suns let the Pelicans shoot a hot 68 percent in the second half and give up 16 points on the break as New Orleans dominated them in transition the whole game.

It was the worst transition Williams has seen in the time he has been at the school, he said. “For that to happen in a playoff game is very unnerving for everyone,” he said.
