Duane Rankin: Suns injury report at Blazers: Jalen Green (left hip contusion/right hamstring injury management) QUESTIONABLE. Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) OUT. #Suns

Below, we statistically break down which NBA players are the most popular among their peers when it comes to All-Star voting based on the share of player ballots in which they have appeared during their time in the league. Notably absent from this list are the likes of Devin Booker, Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Jaylen Brown, which just goes to show that peer voting doesn't always align with on-court performance. Giannis Antetokounmpo: 55.70 percent of player All-Star ballots. An extremely popular player among his peers, two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo holds a sizable lead over the No. 2 finisher in this exercise. He is also the only one to ever crack 70 percent of the player All-Star vote, a feat he pulled off in 2018-19 when he earned an astounding 73.9 percent. That's the single-highest mark in our entire database.

Duane Rankin: UPDATE: Jordan Ott on Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) and Jalen Green (right hamstring injury management and left hip contusion): "Book is making tremendous progress. Obviously been on the court multiple times. Trending in a good spot and Jalen, it's just the fall. The hamstring seemed to be good. Everything was good until that fall. We're going to be smart here. Everyone saw the fall and how hard it was. Mechanically, we want everything to be right. His back to be feeling right, his hip to be feeling right, but it appears to be everything was good with the comeback on the hamstring." More on Jalen Green: "He just wants be out there. His teammates want him to be out there. We want him to be out there, but there's no pressure from us. We want him back, we want him healthy. We want him with the speed that he has. Everything has to be right. It was great to see him out there just in general, just to see him out there. You could feel his energy. Even after the fall, I felt the impact and felt just an unlucky bounce at this point, but he'll be out there as soon as he can." On hip being the concern right now with Green: "It's the soreness piece right now. Tough fall. He was stiff. Yesterday, he was stiff. Today he took a big jump forward and feels a lot better." #Suns

Duane Rankin: Jordan Ott said Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) is still working out swelling as he's getting up shots at this point. Booker is up for a re-evaluation on Sunday. #Suns

Former Phoenix Suns HC Earl Watson said he stopped a trade that would’ve sent Devin Booker to the Chicago Bulls for Jimmy Butler: “We’re on a road trip. [Robert] Sarver sends me a text, ‘Come to my house immediately’. I pull up to the house and I sit down, he [Sarver], goes, ‘We have a trade for Devin. We’re gonna send Devin to Chicago for Jimmy Butler”. “In that moment, I was the biggest Devin Booker advocate. It could’ve changed my entire coaching trajectory. I seen a kid that could be one of the greatest players ever. I said, ‘If you trade Devin Booker, I am resigning tonight.”

Kellan Olson: Jalen Green (right hamstring injury management) and Collin Gillespie (right hand sprain) are both questionable again for the Suns tomorrow against the Pistons. Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) remains out. No Isaiah Livers on the injury report after he was sick yesterday.

The Brooklyn Nets, once again, could only move on in the wake of a depressing blowout to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night. After following a 54-point loss with a double-OT defeat last week, Tuesday night’s match against the Phoenix Suns (sans Devin Booker) was their opportunity to continue a semi-disturbing pattern of blowout -> good game -> blowout -> good game. After the Knicks loss, Michael Porter Jr. put the blame on himself: “A lot of it, that’s on me, I didn’t come in with the right energy. You know, I felt like that trickled down throughout the group.”
