Trade deadline day was hectic for the Phoenix Suns as not only did they move off of four players from the roster, but they were presented with the challenge as Devin Booker was unavailable to play against the Utah Jazz. He had a sore hip and the coaching staff thought it was for the better to have him sit out against Utah, a team that was also shorthanded due to assets moved at the trade deadline.
Booker has been the team's leading assist man this season, dishing out a career-high 7.1. Losing that from your starting lineup can create a playmaking void as it hurts the fluidity of the team.
