Devin Booker could return to Suns’ lineup as early as Game 6 or 7 vs Pelicans

Devin Booker is recovering from a hamstring injury and could return to the Phoenix Suns’ lineup sooner than expected.

The All-Star guard is in the final stage of his recovery and could return to action as early as Game 6 or 7 of the series vs the New Orleans Pelicans.

“Phoenix Suns All-Star G Devin Booker (hamstring strain) is progressing toward a return soon, including the possibility as soon as Game 6 or Game 7 of this playoff series vs. New Orleans.

He’s expected to be initially listed as out for Thursday’s Game 6,” Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported on Wednesday.

The Suns currently lead 3-2 and can close out the series on Thursday in New Orleans. If the Pelicans win, though, they will force a Game 7 on Saturday, April 30.
