Booker (ankle) won't play Monday against the Sixers.

Analysis:

An ankle sprain ended Booker's Saturday evening prematurely, resulting in just six minutes on the court. The abbreviated outing follows three consecutive tilts earning 20-plus minutes, during which he averaged 10.3 points (on 70 percent shooting) and 6.7 rebounds in 26.3 minutes. His absence should hand Jan Vesely modest run off the bench, and Booker will enter Wednesday's game against the Celtics with questionable status.
