Devin Booker could be cleared to play as soon as opening night

Suns guard Devin Booker could be ready to play as soon as Oct. 17 — opening night — at home against the Mavericks, general manager Ryan McDonough said Monday at Suns Media Day.

McDonough explained that the sutures in Booker’s hand were removed last week and that Booker has been heavily involved in practices and workouts since Sept. 9 surgery repaired a damaged pinkie joint in his right hand.

Booker is able to run through sets, participate in cardio workouts and has been working on lefty shooting and ball-handling since the surgery, McDonough said.
