Probably precautionary until they know more

Yeah, makes sense.

Devin Booker is on one.

I couldn't believe it near the end of the half when Ray said he had 30. That was the smoothest 30 ever. And then I see at half time that he has 4 threes and think about 'Bazz and the 7 threes thing. Then he comes out the second half with immediate foul trouble and comes out of the game and I thought of Roseanna Rosanna Danna. It's always something!

[Superbone]

The Dario revenge game

He was spittin' mad.

[Superbone]

No KD on the bench

I will not overreact
I will not overreact
I will not overreact

No reason to risk anything in this game.

I gut tells me he’ll be back against Milwaukee next Tuesday.

Even though I eternally defer to you on everything KD and your gut, the Kings game is really important for seeding.

[Superbone]

That Thunder coach sounds annoying

Reminded me of Thibs.

[Superbone]

Refs only ones who can stop Book

They did a great job of slowing him down.

[Superbone]

Book would’ve had 60 if he didn’t get in foul trouble and the game stayed close

And at least 7 threes.

[Shabazz]

Love Ish attacking the glass…he’s always underwhelmed me there based on his size and athleticism

He’s big, strong, and quick, but he is short and not a leaper. It’s not surprising he’s not great on the glass.

There was a 7th that was waved off because Jock set a moving screen (weak call). There’s no way to check this, but it’s at least the 4th or 5th game I can remember that he’s had a 7th waved off for that reason.

This is some Curse of the Bambino shit.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I need one of those German das boot drinking glasses to drown my sadness.

If Shamet's shot looked like Ross' he'd get at least 40% less hate from Suns fans.

He'd also be a starter, because he handles and defends pretty well.

Not to mention he'd make a lot more shots as he'd be giving them a better chance to go in.

Glad we took care of business, which we should have anyway against the Thunder. But man, what a downer. I think he's out at least a few weeks given the way the roll looked and how cautious we usually are with injuries, not to mention it being KD. Just sucks not using this stretch to get more games in with him and really make a run into the postseason. Hopefully it doesn't cost us any games with the teams ahead of us. With so much anticipation about the home debut, it only made sense something like would happen.

Shame on me

The whole Home Debut thing slipped me

You had to say it this way didn’t you.

Wow
That's crazy.....

[bajanguy008]

I didn't even go online to check the reports
When watching the replay and I heard them mention it in the pregame I just said Oh Precautionary but that sucks for the Fans

Now having read the Suns News thread fore this one
I'm bummed out at the latest reports
Geez

Only on Page 2 of this thread but my 2cents
That was a Superstar performance from Book because I'm fairly certain he understood the occasion and possible disappointment for everyone there. He clearly came out super focused to get a win while putting on a clinic for those in attendance

[bajanguy008]

This all bench line up is uuuuuuugggglyy. OKC ain’t much better tho.

Yeah both teams definitely looked like LA Fitness for that 2nd quarter
Initially I was annoyed but then started laughing at it all
Headless chickens just running up n down at one point
