Booker will miss the team's pre-camp media day Monday and the
start of training camp the following day.
Entering the league's health and safety protocols means Booker
likely either tested positive for COVID-19 or was a close
contact of someone who did. It was not immediately clear whether
Booker received a vaccine.
Booker, 24, averaged 25.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists
per game in 67 starts for Phoenix in the 2020-21 season. He took
a step forward in his first postseason appearance, posting
averages of 27.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game
in 22 starts as the Suns reached the NBA Finals.
The Suns lost point guard Chris Paul during that playoff run due
to a stint on the COVID-19 list.
