Booker (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Booker has missed the previous four games with a sore lower-back, but the probable designation suggests he'll be back in action Saturday night. If that is, indeed, the case, the veteran would likely move back into a consistent reserve role as one of the first bigs off the bench.

Booker will miss his fourth consecutive game Friday while dealing with a sore lower back, despite participating in Thursday's practice. In his stead, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and DeMarre Carroll will probably see the bulk of the minutes at power forward, while Timofey Mozgov will seemingly handle a significant workload at center while Tyler Zeller (illness) is also sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

The writing was already on the wall when Booker was unable to go through the team's morning shootaround, but he's now officially been ruled out. However, Quincy Acy (groin) is returning as expected, so Acy, as well as Tyler Zeller, should help cover Booker's leftover minutes in the frontcourt. Booker's next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Booker continues to deal with some lower back soreness and is in danger of missing a second consecutive game. That fact that he wasn't able to go through morning shootaround doesn't bode well for his eventual availability for Monday's contest, though we may not get a final word until he's able to test it out during pregame warmups. Booker will remain questionable for now, but if he's ultimately held out, the return of Quincy Acy (groin) should at least lessen the blow in regards to depth off the bench in the frontcourt.

EDGE Analysis

Booker was held out of Friday's contest with a sore lower back and still appears to be dealing with some lingering discomfort, so he's been given a questionable designation for now.

Booker is dealing with a sore lower back and while it's not overly serious, the Nets don't want to risk aggravating it further, so he'll get the night off Friday. With Booker out, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, DeMarre Carroll and Tyler Zeller could all pick up extra minutes in the frontcourt. Booker's next opportunity to take the court will be Monday against the Suns.
