Suns' Jalen Green: Shut down for at least four weeks
Rotowire
Green will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks after he sustained a right hamstring strain in Saturday's 114-103 win over the Clippers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
In just his second appearance of the season, Green aggravated the injury that caused him to miss the first eight contests of the 2025-26 campaign. Given the recurring nature of the injury, the Suns plan to take a more conservative approach with Green, who looks set to remain sidelined through at least mid-December. Both Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks should be the beneficiaries of increased usage while Green is out, and Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie are all candidates to see increased minutes over the next few weeks.

Suns' Jalen Green: Won't return Saturday
Rotowire
Green (hamstring) won't return to Saturday's game against the Clippers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports. He posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across seven minutes before leaving the game.
This is far from a surprising development, as Green had to be helped off the court after the injury. The absence of the star guard means Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin, as well as potentially Collin Gillespie, could see more minutes in the backcourt next to Devin Booker. Further tests will likely be needed to determine whether Green will be available to face the Pelicans on Monday.

Suns' Jalen Green: Impresses in season debut
Rotowire
Green (hamstring) closed with 29 points (10-20 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 115-102 victory over the Clippers.
Green was on a minutes restriction for his season debut after missing Phoenix's first eight games due to a right hamstring strain, but that didn't prevent him from making his mark as a scorer. He was particularly impressive from beyond the arc, as he become the first player in franchise history to sink six triples in his Suns debut. Green also chipped in on the opposite end of the court, where he was one of three starters to collect two or more swipes.

Suns' Jalen Green: Aggravates hamstring injury
Rotowire
Green aggravated his hamstring injury during the Suns' trip to China and he will be re-evaluated in 10 days, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
This rules Green out for Opening Night, and while he'll be re-evaluated on October 24, that doesn't mean he'll be ready to play by then. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and given that he's now experienced one setback, the Phoenix medical staff will likely be ultra-cautious in bringing him back. The injury news should bump Green down a few rounds on your draft board. Green played in 186 regular-season games in a row before this absence.
