The Phoenix Suns are preparing to welcome back Jalen Green as they face the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. Green is listed as probable, signaling strong progress in his recovery from a right hamstring strain.
After missing the first eight games of the season, during which Phoenix posted a 3–5 record, Green is expected to make his debut start for the Suns. His return could bring new energy and strengthen the team’s backcourt alongside Devin Booker, promising an explosive offensive combination.
Green joined the Suns as part of the major Kevin Durant trade with Houston and is widely viewed as one of the NBA’s brightest young talents. In his final season with the Rockets, he averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from beyond the arc.
“All signs point to Green being ready to join Booker in the lineup,” team insiders noted.
Green’s comeback is viewed as a significant step toward revitalizing the Suns’ momentum and pushing them higher in the Western Conference standings.
Jalen Green’s return from injury is poised to energize the Phoenix Suns, forming a strong pairing with Devin Booker and potentially reshaping the team’s early-season fortunes.
