Overview
- Green exited seven minutes into the Nov. 8 win after aggravating his right hamstring and was ruled out as Phoenix won 114-103 at the Intuit Dome to move to 5-5.
- Devin Booker posted 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, while Mark Williams (19), Dillon Brooks (16), Grayson Allen (14), Collin Gillespie (13) and Royce O’Neale (12) powered balanced scoring and a 42-27 rebounding edge.
- Phoenix will host the Pelicans next without Green, and reporting from Forbes relayed by Newsweek projects roughly a four-to-six week timeline that has not been officially confirmed by the team.
- The setback came two days after Green’s 29-point season debut following an eight-game absence with the same hamstring strain, highlighting the recurrence.
- The Clippers, now on a four-game skid, were without Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and James Harden (personal) during the two-game set, as Phoenix closed the sweep and improved to four wins in its last five.
