ANKARA (AA) - Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker will be out "indefinitely" with a hamstring injury, the NBA reported Thursday.

"Per the Suns, Booker has a mild right hamstring strain and ‘there is no timetable for his return,’” the league said on its website.

Booker, 25, suffered the injury in a playoff game Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

He had a prolific performance in the second game, scoring 31 points in the first half but then was hurt and had to leave the game.

The Suns lost 125-114 to the Pelicans, who tied the first-round playoff series in the West at 1-1.

Game 3 of the series will be held Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.

Both games will be played at the New Orleans' Smoothie King Center.

The NBA playoffs are played in a best-of-seven format.
