Booker (concussion) has cleared the NBA's concussion protocol and will be available to play in Monday's game against the Hornets, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.

Analysis:

Booker took an inadvertent blow to the head during Thursday's outing with the Kings, which eventually forced him to sit out Saturday's win over the Lakers. After taking a multi-day rest, it appears Booker's concussion-like symptoms have cleared, and he'll now be able to reclaim his usual role off the bench. With Derrick Favors (back) uncertain to be available Monday, Booker could be relied upon to share the majority of the minutes at power forward with rookie starter Trey Lyles.
