Booker has been suspended for the first game of the regular season after taking a swing at Roy Hibbert during Tuesday's preseason game, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reports.

Analysis:

Booker set a hard screen on Hibbert, causing Hibbert to confront Booker after the play. Booker then took an open handed swing at the center, before being restrained and ejected. With Booker set to miss the first game of the season, look for rookie Trey Lyles to take the majority of the back-up minutes behind starting power forward, Derrick Favors.
