The Phoenix Suns are preparing to welcome Jalen Green back as they face the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. Green is listed as probable while recovering from a right hamstring strain and is expected to make his first start in a Suns uniform.
The talented guard missed the first eight games of the season due to the injury, during which Phoenix went 3-5. He is set to join Devin Booker in the backcourt, forming an exciting new duo for the Suns.
Green joined the Suns as part of the major trade involving Kevin Durant from Houston. He is regarded as one of the NBA’s most promising young players.
During his last season with the Rockets, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 42.3% from the field and 35.4% from three.
His strong performance helped Houston earn the second seed in the Western Conference.
Green’s return adds depth and scoring potential to Phoenix’s lineup, boosting their chances in upcoming matchups.
