The Phoenix Suns are 6-12 since their 8-1 start. They face the Nuggets Monday in Denver, then again at home on Christimas.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will miss at least the next two games with left groin soreness in the latest blow to the team’s starting lineup.

Then Booker played through a left groin injury in his 58-point effort against the Pelicans that ended with a 118-114 home win Dec. 17. He missed Phoenix’s next three games before returning against the Denver Nuggets on Christmas Day, but re-aggravated the injury within five minutes of 128-125 overtime road loss and didn’t return.
