Suns Beat Mavericks After Jalen Green Exits With Right Knee Injury

Coach Jordan Ott described the guard’s right knee issue as less serious than first feared.

Overview

  • During Wednesday’s game against Dallas, Jalen Green limped off in the first quarter with a right knee issue and went to the locker room.
  • Head coach Jordan Ott said the injury involved Green’s right knee, downplayed the severity, and framed his removal as precautionary.
  • Jordan Goodwin left with a left ankle injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game, adding to Phoenix’s depth concerns.
  • Phoenix closed out a 112–107 win without the two guards and is positioned for the Western Conference Play-In as the No. 7 seed.
  • Green previously missed significant time with a recurring right hamstring strain, so any setback could limit the Suns’ shot creation next week, and the team will monitor both players with no timeline yet for Goodwin.
