After the Suns’ preseason game on Friday, Devin Booker called across the locker room to congratulate teammate Isaiah Canaan on his first game back after his gruesome injury. Booker told Canaan he’s going crazy with his own four-week recovery and can’t imagine having to rehab for nine months like “Sip” did.
Canaan just looked at Booker for a moment and shook his head, saying “phew” a couple times.
“It’s a blessing,” he said to the media when the cameras came on.
Isaiah Canaan suffered a horrific ankle fracture in a Jan. 31 game between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks, ending his season and potentially, it seemed then, his NBA career — just as it was about to rekindle with fresh hope in Phoenix.
