Devin Booker Injury Update: Latest on All-Star's return vs Cavaliers (March 11)

Devin Booker's injury update and return status are among the key talking points ahead of the Phoenix Suns' road game on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Booker has missed the past four games. Phoenix is 2-2 in that stretch. The Suns desperately needed him available for Saturday's 117-107 loss to the Boston Celtics and on Mar. 3 in the 118-110 loss to the OKC Thunder.

Phoenix survived Denver and Toronto without him, but those weren't easy wins. The lack of depth at point guard is evident without the All-Star, and that's an issue for the Suns down the stretch. The Cavs could be a tough team to beat away, so the Suns will hope he returns Monday.
