The Phoenix Suns faced a setback in their 120-111 loss to the Indiana Pacers as Devin Booker exited the game with left groin tightness in the third quarter. Coach Mike Budenholzer noted that Booker was unsure of when the injury occurred, but it seemed to happen early in the third.

Before his departure, Booker contributed 17 points and six assists in 25 minutes. This injury comes at a challenging time for the Suns, who were finally at full strength with Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant playing together after multiple absences. Durant expressed disappointment over the injury, emphasizing the impact on the team's performance.
