The Phoenix Suns are set to welcome back Jalen Green as they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The young guard is listed as probable while wrapping up his recovery from a right hamstring strain.
Green missed the first eight games of the regular season, a stretch during which the Suns posted a 3–5 record. Now, all signs indicate he will finally make his long-awaited debut in a Suns uniform alongside Devin Booker, forming a new backcourt pairing that fans have eagerly anticipated.
Jalen Green arrived in Phoenix as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Kevin Durant to Houston. The Suns consider him a key piece for their future and one of the NBA’s most promising young stars.
During his final season with the Rockets, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from three.
His solid numbers and explosive style are expected to inject new energy into Phoenix’s offense as the team looks to climb the Western Conference standings.
Jalen Green’s return from injury could redefine the Suns’ backcourt and boost their early-season momentum with new offensive balance and youthful energy.
