Suns' Mark Williams Praises Jalen Green Ahead of Potential Return from Injury
Jalen Green is set to make his season debut soon. The Phoenix Suns, aiming to improve their 3-5 record, will face the Los Angeles Clippers at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday and are expected to welcome back one of their top offensive players.
After missing the preseason and the Suns’ first eight regular-season games due to a strained right hamstring, Green is listed as probable to play according to the NBA's official injury report. His return is anticipated to reduce some pressure on Devin Booker and help the team recover from a slow start.
Williams on Green and Booker’s Impact
Before Green’s possible season debut, Suns center Mark Williams praised the duo of Green and Booker, highlighting how their scoring ability benefits the team’s frontcourt, as reported by Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
“I think everybody knows both of those guys can score the ball at a really high level. Defenses have to pay attention to both of them, so I think that'll make our lives as bigs a little bit easier. That's just one more person you’ve got to worry about.”
Green’s Acquisition
Green joined the Suns through a historic seven-team trade this summer that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets.
