Suns Provide Positive Update on Jalen Green’s Return
The Phoenix Suns shared encouraging news about guard Jalen Green's progress as his expected season debut approaches.
Jalen Green’s Injury and Impact
Green has missed all eight games of the 2025-26 season due to a hamstring injury. Acquired from the Houston Rockets in the offseason alongside Dillon Brooks, Green is a dynamic scorer and playmaker. His presence alongside Devin Booker is anticipated to significantly enhance Phoenix’s offensive capabilities.
Coach Jordan Ott’s Update
"It's great. Like it's another really, really good step in the right direction. Played five-on-five today up and down. With a day in between before the next game, we'll see exactly where he's at, but definitely trending in the right direction, it's a good sight to see," Ott said before the Suns' game against Golden State.
"This is his highest day to date. The ability to get up and down. Now it's been multiple times and just see how he feels. How far was he able to push it and then how he feels tomorrow will give us a good indicator of what is next."
Next Steps for the Suns
The team has a day off before hosting the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, which could be crucial for both Green and Dillon Brooks, who is also recovering from injury.
With continued progress, Green’s return to the court seems increasingly likely in the near future.
