Jalen Green News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

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.

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.

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.

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.
