Jalen Green leaves the game with another hamstring injury
After Jaylen Green has missed the last eight games with a hamstring injurythe Phoenix Suns star guardian out of the game with the same injury. He grabbed his right hamstring in the second quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers.
He went on a drive, caught James Harden and passed to Ryan Dunn, who opened the corner wide. Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the same hamstring and walked towards the bench with a thump.
On the next possession, Green was assisted in the locker room. That’s unfortunate news for the Suns, who missed Green for the season opener and the next seven games.
In just one game, he showed immediate chemistry with teammate Devin Booker. he was a real threat downhill and someone who could create his own shot. in that game Green scored 29 points in 23 minutes and found out what all the hype was about.
Jalen Green’s injury is painful for the Suns
Considering this was his second game back from injury, he says he’s not fully recovered. However, Suns head coach Jordan Ott was cautious about Green’s return as it was a soft tissue injury.
It was not so easy to diagnose and give appropriate treatment. At times, some thought Ott was too cautious with his young guard.
Still, the team made promises without Green. For example, Booker is having an All-NBA season and has been extremely effective as a scorer and playmaker.
Guys like Royce O’Neale and Grayson Allen are having career years. Young players like Ryan Dunn and Colin Gillespie are rising to the occasion.
Losing Green sucks, but that could be the mentality of the next man up for the team full of people looking for any opportunity.
For the former Houston Rockets point guard, it will all be back to square one. But this deterioration can be something minor or something extreme.
No one will know until the official diagnosis of the injury is announced.
