NEW ORLEANS -- Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker returned for his team's Game 6 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night after missing the past three games with a strained right hamstring.
Booker was officially upgraded to questionable shortly before the game and had been expected to test the leg in pregame warm-ups before getting the OK. Coach Monty Williams said he'd progressed well in recent days as the Suns took a 3-2 lead in the first-round series.
"It's hard this time of the year to mimic an NBA game," Williams said of what led to Booker's return.
