Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Green will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks for a right hamstring strain, signaling a multi-week absence.
- Phoenix listed Green as out against the Pelicans, and coach Jordan Ott said the guard is undergoing multiple tests after the setback.
- Green re-injured the same hamstring on Nov. 8 against the Clippers, was helped off the floor late in the first quarter, and did not return.
- The issue traces to a training camp strain aggravated in the preseason; after missing the first eight games, Green debuted Nov. 6 with 29 points.
- With Green sidelined, Phoenix has leaned on Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie, and improved to 6–5 with a 121–98 win in New Orleans highlighted by Allen’s 10 three-pointers.
