Game Day: Devin Booker says injury is legitimate and not for NBA draft tanking purposes

The Boston Celtics, owners of the fourth-best record in the NBA and second place in the Eastern Conference, visit the Phoenix Suns, who have lost 11 straight games.

Follow for updates before, during and after the game.

Devin Booker wants Suns’ fans to know one thing. The sprained right hand that has kept him out the last four games – and likely will sideline him again Monday against Boston – isn’t a fake injury to help Phoenix tank.

“Everyone thinks I’m faking it. They think we’re trying to tank but that’s not the case,” Booker said.
