Suns' Jalen Green Suffers Hamstring Setback in Clippers Clash

On November 9th, 2025, Suns guard Jalen Green experienced a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury during his team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Green, who had made his debut with the Suns just last week, scoring 29 points, left the court late in the first quarter after apparently reaggravating his hamstring.

The 23-year-old appeared to strain his leg while driving to the hoop, pulling up abruptly before leaving the court gingerly. The Suns later announced that Green would not return to the game. This is a concerning development for the Suns, who acquired Green from the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster trade over the summer that sent Kevin Durant to the Rockets.

Green had missed the Suns' first eight games of the season due to the hamstring injury he sustained during training camp, which he then aggravated during the team's preseason trip to China. The promising young guard was expected to play a key role for the Suns this season, but this latest setback could sideline him for an extended period as he works to fully recover.
