Overview
- Green has missed 32 consecutive games with a right hamstring strain and has appeared in only two games for Phoenix this season.
- Coach Jordan Ott said Green’s third five-on-five stint after Saturday’s shootaround “seemed to be good” and that he is moving in the right direction.
- Devin Booker and Grayson Allen voiced optimism about Green’s return, citing his rim pressure, shot creation and scoring.
- The Suns are 25-17, including 11-5 over their past 16 games, as they compete for playoff positioning without Green.
- If he suits up on Jan. 19 in Brooklyn, the most regular-season games Green could play this year is 42.
