Suns’ Jalen Green sidelined 2-3 more weeks due to hamstring strain
Jalen Green of the Phoenix Suns faces an extended recovery period due to a right hamstring strain. The Suns announced on Monday that he will be sidelined for an additional two to three weeks.
Updates on Jalen Green’s Injury Status
The Suns confirmed that Green is making progress in his recovery but will not return to the court immediately. He was recently re-evaluated, and the team plans to assess his condition again in two to three weeks. Coach Jordan Ott expressed optimism about Green’s condition, stating, “Still great progress. Everything seems to be good.”
Recent Game Participation
Green, 23, was acquired in the offseason from Houston in a trade for Kevin Durant. However, a hamstring injury has significantly limited his playing time this season. He has played only 30 minutes across two games so far.
Initially, he missed the first eight games of the 2025-26 season. He made his return on November 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers, where he scored 29 points in just 23 minutes. Unfortunately, he re-injured his hamstring two days later in a rematch against the Clippers, exiting the game after just seven minutes.
Timeline for Recovery
The Suns estimated a 4-6 week timeline for Green’s full recovery after the recent aggravation of his injury. As the season progresses, they find themselves at the longer end of this timeline.
Upcoming Games
The Suns’ next game is scheduled for Tuesday night at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. Fans are hopeful for Green’s return soon, as his impact on the team could be significant.
