The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors are both dealing with significant injuries as they prepare to face off in a crucial Western Conference matchup. The Suns will be without All-Star Devin Booker, who has missed the last six games with a right ankle sprain, while the Warriors are down several key players including Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga.

Why it matters

This game has major implications in the tight Western Conference playoff race, as the Suns and Warriors are currently sixth and eighth in the standings respectively. The injuries to star players on both teams could shift the balance of power and determine which squad comes out on top.

The details

The Suns (31-20) are coming off a 130-125 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers, with Collin Gillespie scoring a career-high 30 points. The Warriors (27-23) have lost their last two games and are 5-5 in their last 10 games. Golden State is also dealing with injuries to Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome), Butler (right ACL tear), Kuminga (right knee bone bruise), and Seth Curry (left sciatic nerve irritation), while LJ Cryer (left hamstring injury management) is listed as questionable.

  • Devin Booker has missed the last six games with a right ankle sprain suffered on January 23.
  • Jalen Green has only played five games this season mostly due to a right hamstring injury, and he suffered a left hip contusion in last week's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
