Phoenix Suns Guard Devin Booker Sidelined with Hip Injury Against Spurs

Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 11:17 PM

Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker was forced to leave Thursday's matchup with San Antonio during the second quarter due to right hip discomfort. The injury comes just weeks after Booker returned from a two-week absence caused by an ankle sprain.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker was forced to exit Thursday’s matchup against the San Antonio Spurs during the second quarter after experiencing discomfort in his right hip, according to team officials.

The star guard was pulled from the game with 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the first half, with Isaiah Livers taking his place on the court. During his brief nine-minute appearance, Booker managed to put up five points while connecting on two of his six field goal attempts.

This season, the four-time All-Star has been Phoenix’s top performer, averaging 25.2 points along with 6.3 assists per contest across 43 games played.

The 29-year-old guard recently dealt with another injury setback, missing a two-week stretch after spraining his right ankle during a January 23rd contest against Atlanta. Booker made his comeback on February 7th and even participated in last weekend’s All-Star festivities.
