Phoenix Suns star shooting guard Devin Booker has a mild strain of his hamstring will be day to day, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7.
Booker suffered the injury Wednesday night at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. The sharpshooter played 29 minutes before getting hurt and scored 23 points while shooting 8-of-16 from the field, 2-of-6 from beyond the arc and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line.
The Suns lost to the Lakers by a final score of 131-113. Phoenix is now 1-3 on the season.

Devin Booker underwent surgery to repair an injury to the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint in his right hand in early September but has been playing through the pain while wearing a splint on his pinky/ring finger. Through the first four games of the year, Booker is averaging 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.8 assists. The 21-year-old scoring guard is shooting 50.7 percent from the floor, 38.7 percent from the 3-point line and 81.8 percent from the charity stripe.
The Suns signed Devin Booker to a five-year, $158 million maximum contract extension in the offseason. Phoenix's next game is not until Saturday when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. There's a chance Booker could be ready to play in that game since he'll have a couple of days to rest and recover from the hamstring ailment.
