“He’s got to pace himself. Hamstrings, you have to follow your instincts and listen to your body. You don’t want to make it do too much and just pull your muscle even more. Nobody is pushing him to do more than what he feels. He’s doing a lot of things in the non-contact, but it can jump from one day it could change from non-contact to he feels OK and he can go now. It’s day-by-day.”

Clearly, the Suns are confident Booker is ready to go and is not at risk of worsening the injury.

Booker's return comes not a moment too soon for the struggling Suns. They will be facing off against one of the hottest teams in the league in the Raptors, who have only lost one game all season so far.

While Booker's stats have been excellent (27.9 points per game on 50 percent shooting from the field), the Suns are still putting things together as a team and are only 1-6. The team is counting on Booker's health to ensure a successful season of growth and maturation.
