Suns Say Jalen Green’s Hamstring Is 100% as Cautious Ramp-Up Continues

The guard has met strength and speed benchmarks, with Phoenix holding him in a controlled ramp-up before live contact.

Overview

  • Coach Jordan Ott said Green’s right hamstring strength and sprint measures are at target, but he has not been cleared for game action.
  • Ott described the next step as facing “live bodies,” with multiple practice days planned to gradually increase on-court demands.
  • Green is set to miss his 25th straight game and has appeared in only two games for Phoenix, though he has been traveling, taking part in warmups, and showing explosiveness.
  • The Suns cite soft-tissue reinjury risk as they prioritize long-term health after Green’s initial training-camp strain, Nov. 6 debut, and Nov. 8 setback.
  • Ott indicated the team is in a 2–3 week reevaluation window and referenced a potential couple-of-weeks runway before a return, contingent on continued progress.
