Jalen Green News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets | FOX Sports

Drops game-high 41 points Green closed Wednesday's 130-128 loss to the Kings with 41 points (14-22 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes.

Impact Green was in the zone right from the jump, knocking down six of eight field-goal attempts in the first quarter alone before entering the break with 21 points. The second-year guard didn't slow down in the second half, going 7-of-10 from the floor to finish with a game-high scoring haul in the Rockets' fifth consecutive loss. Though he's now broken the 40-point mark in three of his last eight games, consistency remains an issue for Green. He scored fewer than 20 points in four of those other five contests and hasn't been offering much production in the non-scoring categories.

Scores 27 in loss to Kings Green amassed 27 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 140-120 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Green carried the Rockets offensively and reached the 25-point mark for the eighth time since the start of January, but as has been the trend all season long, his contributions were not enough to lift Houston to victory. The second-year guard is always going to produce, given his role on offense and his usage rate, but the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has hurt his upside a bit in recent weeks. Green is averaging 23.3 points per game over his last 10 games, but he's also had three outings with 12 or fewer points in that stretch.

Sputters in return Green (calf) finished Saturday's 153-121 loss to the Thunder with 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes.

Impact Green was back in action after a three-game absence due to a bruised calf, but fantasy managers may have preferred for the second-year guard to have sat out Saturday after he delivered a dud of a performance while seeing limited minutes on account of the blowout. Poor efficiency from the field and a lack of peripheral statistics continue to cap Green's overall fantasy upside and render him a far more useful option in points leagues than category formats.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available Saturday Green (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green got through warmups without a hitch, so he'll return following a three-game absence. With Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) out, Green could see more usage than usual. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave much to be desired.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Green (calf) will likely be available for Saturday's game against the Thunder, barring a setback in pregame warmups, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green is expected to return Saturday following a three-game absence due to a bruised right calf. Whether or not he's on a minutes limit, the sophomore guard could see increased usage since Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) are out. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave much to be desired.

Officially questionable at OKC Green (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Green may return Saturday following a three-game absence due to a bruised right calf. Whether or not he's on a minutes limit, the sophomore guard could see increased usage if available since Kevin Porter (foot), Eric Gordon (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) are out. In January, Green averaged 22.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 35.0 minutes, but his shooting splits of 40/34/75 leave something to be desired.

Could return Saturday Rockets coach Stephen Silas said Thursday "fingers crossed" in regard to Green (calf) being available to play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports...

Impact Green has already been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a calf injury. However, if he is unable to suit up Saturday, Silas said he will definitely be able to return for Monday's matchup with the Kings.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Green (calf) is out Friday against the Raptors, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, the sophomore guard will sit out a third straight game due to a bruised right calf. Given that he was initially listed as doubtful, it wouldn't be surprising if Green also sat out the second half of the back-to-back Saturday against the Thunder. With Kevin Porter (foot/toe) still out, Daishen Nix and Kenyon Martin should remain in the starting five.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to return Friday Coach Stephen Silas said Green (calf) "probably won't play" in Friday's game versus the Raptors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green returned to practice Thursday after missing the previous two games with a calf injury. While he was expected to return this weekend, his likely absence Friday means that Saturday's matchup with the Thunder is his target date.

Hoping to return this weekend Head coach Stephen Silas relayed Wednesday that he hopes to have Green (calf) back in the lineup this weekend, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Impact Green would have two chances to return to the lineup this weekend: Friday against the Raptors or Saturday against the Thunder. He will miss his second consecutive game Wednesday to rest the bothersome right calf, and it wouldn't be shocking if the team decides to limit him to just one of the back-to-back contests. Thursday's injury report should be more telling about Green's status against the Raptors on Friday.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Wednesday Green (calf) won't play Wednesday against Oklahoma City.

Impact Green didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, so it's no surprise that he'll miss a second straight game with a bruised right calf. The fact that he's been ruled out well in advance of Wednesday's contest isn't the most encouraging sign, and fantasy managers should be prepared for the possibility that Green also misses at least one half of the Rockets' upcoming back-to-back set Friday (versus Toronto) and Saturday (at Oklahoma City).

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Green (calf) didn't practice Tuesday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Impact Green was sidelined for Saturday's win over the Pistons due to a right calf bruise and didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, putting his status for Wednesday's game against the Thunder in serious jeopardy. However, further clarity on his availability will surface when Houston releases its next official injury report. Kevin Porter (foot) remains out, so if Green is also sidelined again, Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington would all be candidates for increased roles.

Sits out practice Green (calf) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green sat out Saturday's win over the Pistons due to the right calf bruise, but the Rockets remain hopeful that he'll be able to return to action Wednesday against the Thunder despite missing practice Monday. Over his last six appearances, Green has averaged 23.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game.

JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Green is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised right calf.

Impact Saturday will mark just the second time this season Green has missed a game. With Kevin Porter (foot) also sidelined, more minutes will be available for TyTy Washington, Daishen Nix, Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 19 with 19 shots Green supplied 19 points (6-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-103 loss to Washington.

Impact Green had a rough shooting performance but still ended as one of Houston's main scoring threats, and his contributions in other categories salvaged his fantasy performance. The second-year floor general has had a few off nights in the current month, but he's been serviceable for the most part. He's averaging 23.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in January.
