Scores team-high 20 points Green logged 20 points (7-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-99 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Green played just 19 minutes during his return from a two-game absence Tuesday, but he was back around 30 minutes Wednesday. Since returning from the groin injury, the dynamic guard has averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 50.0 percent from deep.

Scores 17 points in return Green finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Green returned from a two-game absence, and while he needed 15 shots to score 17 points, he posted a decent stat line in the end. Efficiency has been an issue for the second-year guard, however, as he averaged 21.6 points but shot just 40.2 percent from the field in seven February games.

Not listed on injury report Green (groin) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Impact Green will return to action Tuesday following a two-game absence due to a groin injury. The dynamic guard hasn't played since before the All-Star break, so he may be a little rusty following a two-week layoff. However, when he's been available this year, Green has produced at an elite level, posting 21.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 33.9 minutes -- all career highs. The one knock on the second-year pro is his efficiency, as he's shooting just 40.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep, both lower than his rookie campaign.

Impact Green missed the Rockets' first game after the All-Star break due to a left groin strain, but he's trending in the right direction and could be back in the starting lineup soon. His availability will have a significant impact on Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington's playing time.

Ruled out against Warriors Green (groin) won't play in Friday's game versus the Warriors and is considered day-to-day, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Green also missed Wednesday's practice due to a left groin strain. Coach Stephen Silas also said there is a "small chance" at least one of Green and Kevin Porter (foot) can play in Sunday's matchup with Portland. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington will likely see increased roles in his absence.

Unlikely to play Friday Green (groin) is doubtful for Friday's game versus the Warriors, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact Green isn't expected to miss much time due to a strained left groin but is unlikely to play Friday. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and TyTy Washington are candidates to see extended minutes in his likely absence. Green's next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Portland if he's ultimately ruled out versus Golden State.

Groin pull confirmed, may miss time Green underwent an MRI on Friday that confirmed a strained left groin, but the Rockets are hopeful the second-year guard won't miss much time coming out of the All-Star break, Jona...

Impact The Rockets aren't expected to have a clear timeline for Green's return to action until the team reconvenes within the next 2-to-3 days following All-Star weekend. Though Houston is said to be "relieved" by the results of Green's MRI, the groin injury seems likely to sideline him for the Rockets' first game out of the All-Star break next Friday at Golden State, and potentially additional games to follow. The 21-year-old's expected absence would free up more opportunities out of the backcourt for the likes of Josh Christopher, TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix, will all three players perhaps in line to seize 20-plus-minute roles if Kevin Porter (foot) remains sidelined out of the break along with Green.

Sitting out Rising Stars Challenge Green (groin) won't play in the Rising Stars Challenge, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Green suffered a groin injury in Wednesday's game versus the Thunder and is slated to undergo an MRI, so his removal from the Rising Stars Challenge hardly comes as a surprise. He'll instead focus on healing up during the All-Star break, though the team hasn't released the extent of the damage to his groin yet. Teammate Tari Eason will take his place, while Green will turn his focus toward the start of the second half Feb. 24 versus the Warriors.

MRI upcoming Rockets head coach Stephen Silas said after Wednesday's 133-96 loss to the Thunder that Green (groin) is scheduled to undergo an MRI, Coty M. Davis of SI.com reports.

Impact Green was diagnosed with a left groin strain after exiting in the second quarter of Wednesday's contest, but the upcoming MRI should shed more light on the severity of the injury. Fortunately for Green, he'll get some added time off to heal with the Rockets off the schedule until Feb. 24 at Golden State due to the All-Star break. if Green's groin strain proves to be a low-grade one, he may not have to miss any game action on account of the injury.

Won't return Wednesday Green suffered a left groin strain during Wednesday's game and he will not return, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Green pulled up lame attempting to guard Josh Giddey in transition, and he immediately headed back to the locker room, clutching at his left groin. Unfortunately, this is an injury that tends to require a player to miss multiple games, but the good news is that Houston's next matchup won't come until February 24 against the Warriors. TyTy Washington started the second half in Green's place, so he could be someone to consider as a speculative add, and Josh Christopher is worth considering as well.

Drops 29 points in loss Green produced 29 points (6-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 15-17 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 123-104 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Despite coming through with another strong scoring night on the back of excellent shooting from the free-throw line, Green endured another rough all-around showing from the field and three-point range. Over his last two games, Green has shot a combined 11-of-39 from the field, dropping his season-long rate to 41.1 percent. The Rockets have lost six straight games, but they have no choice but to let Green shoot himself out of this slump.

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.
