NBA: Booker must be operated on the hand

According to media reports, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns is being operated on today. But it should only be a small operation, so that the youngster will probably not be out for long.

This reported 98.7 FM Arizona. According to the report, Booker will have hand surgery in Los Angeles this Monday. It’s supposed to be a minor procedure. A band, which caused Booker problems over and over again, is to be operated on.

When Booker can stand on the court again is still unclear, as the Suns have not yet commented on the upcoming operation. The procedure is said to have become necessary because Bookers Hand has been swelling up again and again in the recent past.

Booker only signed his rookie extension in July, which will earn him a maximum of 158 million dollars over the next five years. The Shooting Guard is the Arizona franchise player with an average of 24.9 points in his third NBA season.
