Suns Set Four-to-Six Week Reevaluation for Jalen Green’s Reinjured Hamstring

Phoenix turns to its guard and wing depth during the former Rockets scorer’s multi-week recovery.

Overview

  • Green aggravated the same right hamstring on Nov. 8 against the Clippers and is undergoing tests after exiting late in the first quarter.
  • The team said he will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks, with reporting indicating he is expected to miss multiple weeks and at least 13 games based on the schedule.
  • Green had missed the first eight games with the preseason strain, then scored 29 points with six 3-pointers in his Nov. 6 Suns debut before the setback two days later.
  • Coaches and teammates, including Devin Booker and Jordan Ott, voiced support and stressed caution, with Ott saying the Suns will play with no excuses during Green’s absence.
  • With Green out, Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale have taken on larger roles, highlighted by Allen’s 42-point, 10-threes performance in a 121-98 win over the Pelicans.
