Overview

• Head coach Jordan Ott called the soft-tissue hamstring issue something the staff caught early and not considered serious.
• The injury was aggravated during Phoenix’s trip to Macao, delaying Green’s regular-season debut with his new team.
• Green’s 186-game consecutive-games streak ends after he appeared in all 82 games in each of the past two seasons.
• He has participated in practices but did not play in any preseason games as the Suns avoid rushing his return.
• Phoenix plans to lean on Grayson Allen in the backcourt during Green’s absence, with a reported timetable of a couple of weeks.
