BBC NOWS :Suns guard Booker misses the Lakers’ game on Friday, Beal is considered probable

Devin Booker (right calf strain) will miss the Phoenix Suns’ game Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers at Footprint Center.
Bradley Beal (lower back spasm) is listed as likely to play his second game with the Suns.

Beal played 24 minutes in his regular season debut against the Bulls in Chicago on Wednesday, going 3 of 12 from the field for 13 points.

The Suns would win in overtime, 116-115.

Booker hasn’t played since the Nov. 2 loss to the San Antonio Spurs at home when he played 35 minutes for Phoenix. He’s averaging 31.5 minutes per game this season in just two games.

Damion Lee (right meniscus surgery) is also out while Jordan Goodwin (jaw contusion) is available.

Goodwin played 17 minutes in the overtime win against the Bulls on Wednesday, scoring six points and pulling down two rebounds. Goodwin’s injury stems from an injury in the game against the Detroit Pistons on Nov. 5, according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. Goodwin is averaging 7.1 points and four rebounds per game this season for Phoenix.
