For those asking what led to the Booker-Sochan beef, there was a play when they got tangled up on the floor away from the ball, and Sochan got in his face for the next minute. I asked if Booker had leg-tackled him.
“Yeah, he did,” Sochan said. “That was a little dirty of him.” – 1:50 AM

Heat check Devin Booker is probably the second-most satisfying heat check in the NBA behind Curry. Just visually, he reaches these points where someone could decapitate him mid-release and I’d believe the ball was going in. – 12:04 AM

If Booker does play, Vogel said there’s a “range” of minutes they’ll keep him to. Wouldn’t get a set range – 8:16 PM
