Phoenix Suns fans received disappointing news this week as the team confirmed that guard Jalen Green will be sidelined for an extended period. Green, who has been battling a nagging right hamstring strain since the preseason, is expected to miss four to six weeks before being re-evaluated. The 23-year-old guard has appeared in just two games this season, a frustrating start for one of Phoenix’s most promising young players.
The setback came during Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, when Green aggravated the same hamstring issue that first surfaced during training camp. His absence leaves a noticeable gap in the Suns’ lineup, particularly after his electric debut performance in which he dropped 29 points in a 115-102 win. The team will now have to manage without him for at least a month, possibly longer, as he undergoes further tests and recovery.
Jalen Green’s injury forces Suns to adjust rotation
The Phoenix Suns released an official statement confirming the diagnosis: “Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain. He will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks.”
Assistant coach Jordan Ott provided further clarity on Green’s situation, saying, “Obviously he’s out tonight. I think where we’re at right now is he’s going through multiple tests to see exactly what’s going on… We’ll give you further updates when we get them.” Ott emphasized that the team is taking a cautious approach, noting that Green will remain out until all medical information is gathered.
The Suns acquired Green as part of the blockbuster offseason trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston. His arrival was supposed to mark the beginning of a new era in Phoenix, forming a dynamic backcourt with Devin Booker. However, the hamstring injury has delayed those plans, with Green’s return likely pushed to around Christmas if recovery takes the full six weeks.
Devin Booker praises Jalen Green’s potential despite setback
Despite the early frustration, Booker expressed confidence in his new teammate’s abilities. “He takes a lot of pressure off anybody,” Booker said. “Just a high-level talent. With an opportunity and space, he can pretty much do everything. We saw a glimpse of it tonight, 29 points in 23 minutes. Super incredible and super efficient.”
While Phoenix adjusts to Green’s absence, players like Grayson Allen have stepped up alongside Booker to keep the Suns competitive. With a 6-5 record, the team remains optimistic about its long-term outlook. Once healthy, Green’s return could reignite Phoenix’s backcourt potential and help the franchise move closer to its goal of playoff contention.
For now, though, the Suns’ newest star will have to focus on recovery as fans await his comeback later this season.
