Booker, one of the best scorers in the league, is averaging 25.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 24 games. He's shooting 50.7 percent from the field, 40.6 percent from beyond the arc and 90.3 percent from the free-throw line.

The Suns are 11-13 when Booker plays. They got former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers after he served his PED suspension. Now, Phoenix is just waiting for Booker to come back so the team is at full strength again.

The last time the Suns made the playoffs was all the way back in 2010. They haven't had a winning record since 2014. The only way Phoenix is going to shock the world and make the postseason is if Booker continues to play like a superstar and Ayton, Kelly Oubre Jr., Aron Baynes and Ricky Rubio are All-Stars in their individual roles.

The Suns don't play again until Friday when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hopefully Booker is able to suit up.
