The incident occurred with just 1:15 left on the clock, and the Suns trailing 117-109. While defending Fred VanVleet, Booker's right ankle rolled on teammate Royce O'Neale's foot, forcing him to go down in evident pain.

He then hobbled to the locker room, and the game was temporarily halted for a timeout.

Post-game reports revealed that both Booker and O'Neale suffered ankle sprains, but thankfully, Booker's X-rays came back negative.

The Suns fell short, with Houston ultimately securing a 118-109 victory. Booker contributed 24 points and five assists.

Looking ahead, the Suns face a quick turnaround, with the second night of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder scheduled for Sunday.
