The Phoenix Suns are preparing to welcome Jalen Green back to the court as they face the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. Green is listed as probable as he nears full recovery from a right hamstring strain.
The young guard, expected to make his first start in a Suns uniform, missed the first eight games of the season due to the injury. During his absence, Phoenix posted a 3–5 record but now looks forward to an offensive boost with his return.
Green joined the Suns as part of the blockbuster Kevin Durant trade with Houston and is widely regarded as one of the league’s most promising rising stars. His return could form an explosive backcourt pairing alongside Devin Booker.
During his final season with the Houston Rockets, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 42.3% from the field and 35.4% from three.
With his recovery nearly complete, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his offensive talent and speed will strengthen the Suns’ lineup.
Jalen Green’s comeback from injury brings renewed optimism to the Phoenix Suns, who anticipate a dynamic backcourt partnership with Devin Booker.
