PHOENIX (AP) — Jalen Green hit a 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer to give the Phoenix Suns a 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

After Jalen Carter tied it for Orlando with 1.1 seconds left with a corner 3, Green hit all net from the corner as the horn sounded. Green struggled all game until that final shot, making only 6 for 26 from the field and 2 of 6 free throws. His winning basket was just his second successful 3 in 11 attempts.

Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points after after missing four games because of a sprained right ankle. He scored all seven of the Suns' points in the first overtime. Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and Green had 16.

Desmond Bane had 34 points for Orlando on 12-of-18 shooting before fouling out in the first minute of overtime. Paolo Banchero added 26 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic had won four of five.

The Suns played without Devin Booker, who is out for at least a week with a right hip strain.

Dillon Brooks played just seven minutes before leaving with what the team said was a left-hand injury. ESPN reported, citing sources, that Brooks' hand is broken and that the forward will miss significant time. The team said it wouldn't have an official update until Sunday.

The Magic scored the last six points of regulation, the last two on Anthony Black's dunk with 57 seconds to play.

Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points off the bench for the Suns before hobbling off the court in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury. Oso Ighodaro had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Phoenix.

Orlando tarting guard Jalen Suggs was sidelined by back spasms.

Magic: At Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.

Suns: Host Portland on Sunday night.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have been hit hard with injuries over the past few days with All-Star guard Devin Booker and starting forward Dillon Brooks both sidelined.

Booker will miss at least one week because of a right hip strain that happened against the San Antonio Spurs in a loss on Thursday. Brooks left Saturday's win over the Orlando Magic after playing just seven minutes because of an injured left hand.

ESPN reported, citing sources, that Brooks' hand is broken and that the forward will miss significant time. The team said it would not have official confirmation until Sunday.

Booker is averaging 24.7 points, 6.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds over 44 games this season. The 29-year-old recently missed seven straight games with a sprained right ankle.

Brooks is having a career year, averaging more than 21 points per game. His production and hard-nosed personality have been a welcome addition for the Suns, who acqured him as part of the deal that sent 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets last offseason.

The Suns also said that recently signed guard Haywood Highsmith is continuing to recover from right knee surgery last offseason. The team said Highsmith is making “good progress” and will be evaluated in 2 to 3 weeks.

The Suns have been one of the NBA's surprise teams this season with a 33-24 record.
