Booker likely out per Bordow.

In related news, Suns signing this guy to a 10-day contract:

We wouldn’t win this game even with Booker lol. I don’t think this is tanking intentionally. Unfortunately we seem to miss players in games we would lose anyway but miraculously they recover to play in games we REALLY need to lose while the opponents 5 best players go “accidentally” missing.

Why are the Suns playing Booker while injured? Doesn't make sense. He has a legitimate injury so the tank police wouldn't be up our ass about it.

Because he's a gamer and wants to play. It's up to management to sit him.

Why would Dudley ever pass up the open three in order to drive to the basket. He couldn't do that when he was young. He definitely isn't good at it now.

Marc Gasol misses a shot at the buzzer and Memphis loses to Chicago 111-110.

Dudley and Chriss are probably gone after that one.

Still one of the dumbest teams in the league.

Nice fight. Another knucklehead incident involving Chriss, bleh.

I really don't think we should be playing Booker if he's that hurt. Get him out of there and rest him for the rest of the season.

I wasn't watching but what led up to that foul by Dudley? Was there any back and forth before that?

Chriss had landed hard after losing the ball going up for a dunk. There was minimal contact by Gobert on the play and like EJ said, Chriss just took off to early and lost the ball.

Then Utah inbounded the ball to Rubio and Dudley took in on himself to send some kind of message by fouling Rubio hard. Then Chriss came in and pushed Rubio from behind.

The collective stupidity on that play was staggering.

Leave it to Chriss to turn a play where he jumped too soon for a dunk, into an ejection. Looked like Dudley was trying to foul to stop a break and ended up pushing him harder than intended. Suns are so dumb. The poor coaching hasn't helped

I assume he has been medically cleared to play and is not risking a worse injury by playing through it. So if he wants to go, why not let him? Are we desperate to find more minutes for Troy Daniels and Davon Reed? Booker could play with one arm in a sling and still be better than those guys.

Jazz by 28. Suns with 23 turnovers. WE've all but wasted another season developing players. They way the Suns are playing doesn't help anyone in purple and orange.

Yawn. Wake me up when this roster has been completely overhauled.

Tank tank tank!
