Devin Booker’s Shocking Absence Leaves Suns’ NBA Cup 2025 Fate Hanging Against Thunder
Taking on the unstoppable Oklahoma City Thunder, who boast an astonishing 23-1 record, was already shaping up to be a Herculean task for the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 NBA Cup quarterfinals. But now, the challenge just got a whole lot steeper — Devin Booker won’t be hitting the court. Despite showing up for shootaround and sparking a flicker of hope that he might play, the Suns’ leading scorer remains sidelined with a nagging groin strain. It’s a tough pill to swallow, especially since Booker has been out of action since early December, forcing Phoenix to navigate the highs and lows of a rollercoaster stretch without their star — a heartbreaker when you consider the Winston-Salem crowd expecting fireworks. Facing the league’s hottest team without their offensive engine, the Suns find themselves in a precarious spot, glimpsing the daunting uphill climb ahead—especially as the Thunder eye breaking records and extending their historic run. The stakes have rarely been higher, and the absence of Booker casts a long shadow over Phoenix’s hopes this Wednesday night.
