Suns’ Jalen Green Expected to Return Tuesday in Philadelphia

Overview

• Head coach Jordan Ott said Green is expected to play Tuesday in Philadelphia, barring a last-minute setback, and will rejoin the starting lineup.
• Green was ruled out in Brooklyn after being listed questionable as the team chose to give him an extra day with a back-to-back on the schedule.
• Ott said Green did not aggravate his right hamstring during the layoff and satisfied the team’s return-to-play benchmarks.
• Green last played on November 8 and has appeared in two games this season because of a right hamstring strain.
• He first strained the hamstring in training camp, scored 29 points in his season debut, then re-injured it early in his second game.
