The shorthanded Phoenix Suns are going to be stuck in the mud until Devin Booker can lift them out of it and he wasn't capable of doing so in Friday's 99-83 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Devin Booker looked better in leading the Phoenix Suns past the Utah Jazz, 120-112, in NBA Cup West Group B play at Delta Center. Scoring a game-high 31 points, Booker may just be over his illness that left him battling fatigue in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. He went 5-of-9 from 3.
