Overview
- Green will miss Friday's game against the Jazz, his sixth straight regular-season absence with a right hamstring strain.
- He was upgraded to questionable for Wednesday against the Grizzlies but was ruled out before tip-off, and local reporting said there was no setback.
- Head coach Jordan Ott characterized the issue as a soft-tissue injury and described Green as day-to-day as the team prioritizes long-term health.
- Green missed the entire preseason after hurting the hamstring before the opener and re-aggravating it during the Suns' trip to China.
- Phoenix has started 1-4 with Devin Booker carrying a larger load, while Dillon Brooks is also out with a core muscle strain and is expected to miss a third straight game.
