The first half of Tuesday night’s Game 2 against the New Orleans Pelicans went quite, quite well for Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker. He scored 31 points and even fist-bumped a baby.
But the second half did *not* go well for the Suns’ star. Booker was held scoreless and left the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game with right hamstring tightness.

Suns' Devin Booker has right hamstring tightness and is out for remainder of Game 2 vs. Pelicans.

It’s unclear how serious the injury is, but it was at least serious enough for Booker to not be able to finish a playoff game that has gone back and forth in the second half, so that’s concerning.
