Suns @ Rockets Friday Game thread December 5th, 2025

[Suns_fan69]

Glad to see it doesn't appear to be a long absence from Book and hopefully it's a wakeup call to keep his minutes in check when he's back. He's 2nd in the league in total minutes currently.

starting lineup with no book no jalen?

The Suns are going to keep adding to what Dillon Brooks does.

From Gerald Bourquet about Booker's injury timeline.

A 1-week re-evaluation timeline for Devin Booker would mean he’s likely out for (at least):-Friday @ Rockets-Monday @ Timberwolves-Wednesday @ Thunder (NBA Cup quarterfinals)Could’ve been a lot worse, both in terms of time and number of games he’ll miss

A three game slid wouldn’t bother my hopes for the team.

 

[Mainstreet]

My guess is the Suns start:

Collin Gillespie
Grayson Allen
Royce O'Neal
Dillon Brooks
Mark Williams.

While I agree, I'm trying hard not to think that way. This Suns team has a great attitude.

i don't know what this team is yet - i have my suspicions but fear they may be soaked in homerism

i know when you can play defense you can beat anybody - and while book does gather a lot of attention on offense im not sure we will miss him as much on defense

also our 3 ball - again i love devin but gillespie grayson dtv and oneale are destroying people's night's - im hoping to win at least 1 of the 3 bookerless games

Green I have heard for the 18th

Yeah I think home Warriors or home Lakers

Similar time frame for Booker. There are only 3 games between now and the 18th so it is is a good chance to get healthy.

Rockets, Twolves, Thunder. If you can steal 1 it's a win.

I would love it if he returned for that Warriors game on the 18th as I'll be there with my Warriors fan friend. Watch for him and me on the pregame show walking into the arena as I'll have on my new Ryan Dunn Valley jersey and he'll be rocking his Warriors jersey. They always show those guys walking into the arena together.

How long is Jalen out? Rather see him then Booker

Jalen should be re-evaluated around the 13th and Book on the 11th.

Sounds like Grayson Allen will play and Dillon Brooks will be ready to roll against his old team.

Let the Rockets play isolation basketball... the Suns will fill in behind their players.

Isaiah Livers is listed as QUESTIONABLE. This is an upgrade.

Devin Booker and of course Jalen Green are OUT.

whoa early game

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

without book against a high seed playoff team and im not even bothered- no disrespect to book but it'll be good to see just how deep this team is - not expecting a win just a quality effort

 

[Superbone]

whoa early game

Less than eight hours to go!

 

[Superbone]

So, does Brooks get a warm welcome in Houston tonight? I would think so.

If not, he will make them pay.
