The Phoenix Suns' new backcourt was missing in action yet again as Devin Booker was ruled out of Saturday night's home opening win against the Utah Jazz with an ankle injury.

The Suns' 126-104 victory was the second consecutive game Booker has missed. He last played in the season-opening win over the Golden State Warriors.

New Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) has yet to make his Phoenix debut after he was acquired in an offseason trade from the Washington Wizards.

Booker, 26, averaged 32.0 points last season and has averaged 24.0 points over his first nine NBA seasons in 531 games (506 starts), all with the Suns. The three-time All-Star has averaged 4.8 assists in his career after he registered 8.0 last season.
