The Phoenix Suns will begin their season without a crucial player due to a hamstring injury. Jalen Green, one of the team’s significant offseason additions, will miss the opening game against the Sacramento Kings.
Green’s Injury Details
During a recent press conference, Phoenix’s new head coach, Jordan Ott, revealed that Green aggravated his injury while the team was in China earlier this month. Initially, he was diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring strain during training camp. Despite this, Green participated in the preseason, traveling with the team for games against the Brooklyn Nets.
Reevaluation Timeline
Green is scheduled to be reevaluated in 10 days. This timeline suggests he will not participate in the season opener, which is set for October 22.
Impact on the Team
Green’s scoring ability is expected to play a critical role in the Suns’ performance this season. He joined the team as part of the trade deal for Kevin Durant from the Houston Rockets, highlighting his importance to the franchise.
