Overview
- The NBA's official injury report lists Jalen Green as out against the Jazz, marking his sixth missed regular-season game after sitting out the entire preseason.
- Green first strained his right hamstring in training camp and reaggravated it during the Suns’ preseason trip to China, delaying his team debut.
- Ott reiterated that Green is day-to-day and emphasized avoiding re-injury over an 82-game slate, noting the soft-tissue nature of the issue.
- Local reporter John Gambadoro said there has been no confirmed setback despite a recent questionable-to-out downgrade, framing the recovery as typical of hamstring variability.
- Dillon Brooks will also sit with a core muscle strain and is considered day-to-day, pushing more responsibility onto Devin Booker and elevating minutes for options like Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale as Phoenix tries to improve from 1-4.
