Devin Booker and Stephen Curry are out, while Jalen Green is questionable for the highly anticipated Suns-Warriors game on Amazon Prime Video. This crucial match-up is set to take place on Thursday, with the game streaming exclusively on the platform. The absence of these star players could significantly impact the outcome of the game, as the Suns and Warriors both have strong lineups.
Booker's recent injury history includes a right ankle sprain, causing him to miss seven consecutive games. He was last seen in action on January 23rd, scoring 31 points with impressive shooting accuracy. Green, on the other hand, is dealing with a right hamstring issue and a left hip contusion, having missed three straight games after a painful fall during the Cleveland Cavaliers game. Despite his limited playing time, Green has shown promise with an average of 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.
Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, is also sidelined due to a right knee injury, marking his second consecutive missed game. His average of 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 39 games is a testament to his exceptional talent. Interestingly, Curry has a history of success against the Suns, with the team holding a 2-1 record in their previous three matchups, despite Curry's shooting percentage being below 50% in all three games.
The Warriors' injury report also includes Seth Curry and Jonathan Kuminga, who are both out with left sciatic nerve irritation and a left knee bone bruise, respectively. Seth Curry, who briefly played for the Suns in the 2014-15 season, is expected to be reevaluated in two weeks and has progressed to on-court workouts. Kuminga, on the other hand, is missing his sixth straight game due to various knee and ankle injuries, limiting his appearances to just 20 games this season.
L.J. Cryer, an undrafted rookie, is questionable with a left hamstring injury, having played in only three games so far this season. The Suns-Warriors game is set to tip off at 8 p.m. on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app, with fans eagerly awaiting the return of these star players and the outcome of this highly anticipated match-up.
