Suns Rule Jalen Green Out for Opener After Hamstring Setback

A training-camp hamstring strain flared in Macao, prompting a conservative 10-day reevaluation plan.

Overview

  • Head coach Jordan Ott called the issue a soft-tissue injury that was caught early and not viewed as serious.
  • Green will be re-evaluated in 10 days, which suggests he could miss more than the Oct. 22 opener against Sacramento.
  • He sat out the entire preseason after re-aggravating the hamstring during the Suns’ exhibition trip to Macao, China.
  • Phoenix expects to adjust its early rotations, with Grayson Allen likely to open as the starting shooting guard.
  • The setback halts Green’s ironman streak, as he had not missed a regular-season game since February 2023.
