Booker sprained his right ankle with 1:15 left in Saturday 118-109 loss to the Houston Rockets. The Suns were on defense when Booker's foot got tangled with teammate Royce O'Neale.
Booker, who scored 24 points, immediately limped off the court toward the locker room. Postgame X-rays were negative.
This will be the 11th game Booker has missed this season. He is averaging 27.5 points, 6.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds.
O'Neale also sprained his right ankle on the play but wasn't listed on the Suns' injury report Sunday.
Phoenix big man Jusuf Nurkic is listed as probable. He left late in the second quarter on Saturday with a neck injury after taking a blow from teammate Josh Okogie.
