Friday's matchup with the Celtics marks the first of five straight games on the road for the Suns.

Wins have been hard to come by for the Suns away from Phoenix this season. Whereas they're 19-9 at home, they're just 8-17 on the road. That's quite the change from last season when the Suns finished 32-9 both at home and on the road.

Complicating matters further for the Suns is that Devin Booker has missed 19 straight games with an injury. Will he be cleared for the start of Phoenix's road trip?

The Sporting News has you covered with the latest updates on Booker's status.

Is Devin Booker playing vs. Celtics tonight?

Booker has been sidelined since Christmas with a left groin strain, but he is nearing a return.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Booker could return on Tuesday when the Suns travel to Brooklyn to face the Nets. That, of course, would mean he won't be available on Friday.

Through 29 games, Booker is averaging 27.1 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds on 47.7 percent shooting.
