Suns' Jalen Green Nears Return from Hamstring Injury
15 Jan
Summary
- Jalen Green is progressing well from a right hamstring strain.
- Green has played only two games this season, exiting one early.
- He scored 29 points in his most recent full game with the Suns.
Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green is on the cusp of returning to the court after a significant absence due to a right hamstring strain. He has been sidelined since early November, playing in only two games this season. Coach Jordan Ott confirmed Green's progression, stating he is "taking steps every day" and is in the "final stages" of recovery.
Green's absence has been keenly felt, especially after his explosive performance in his last full game. He netted 29 points against the Los Angeles Clippers, showcasing his scoring potential. However, he exited the subsequent game after just six minutes, which led to his extended time off.
The Suns are exercising caution with Green's return, ruling him out for the upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons. While he is eager to play, the team is prioritizing his complete recovery before reintroducing him to game action. His eventual return will be a significant boost to the Suns' offense.
