Coach Ott confirmed that Green will not play in Thursday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. He added, “He is playing up and down, so that’s the final stages of this. Being out for so long, we’re going to be as cautious as we can. But he’s itching to get out there.” While no clear timetable was provided, Green appears to be nearing a return.

Phoenix Suns head coach Jordan Ott said on Sunday that Jalen Green “continues to make steady progress and is close to playing against live bodies.”

Green has been limited to just two games due to a right hamstring strain, last appearing on November 8. It’s encouraging that he continues to make steady progress and is ramping up his pregame work. However, fantasy managers should remain patient, as he has not yet begun full live-action play and still lacks a clear timetable for his return.

The Phoenix Suns announced on Monday that Jalen Green was recently re-evaluated and continues to make good progress in his rehabilitation for a right hamstring strain. He is scheduled for his next evaluation in two to three weeks.

Green last played on November 8 after aggravating a right hamstring strain. While the Suns announced he has made good progress, he will remain sidelined for the remainder of December with a chance to return in January. With him out, the Suns will continue to rely on Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Grayson Allen.

Green will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks after aggravating a right hamstring strain during Saturday’s game against the Clippers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The injury previously caused him to miss the start of the season, and he’s now facing another extended absence.

Green’s recovery timeline could keep him sidelined until mid-December. In his absence, Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale are expected to maintain increased roles, while Collin Gillespie may also see additional minutes in Phoenix’s backcourt rotation.

Green aggravated the same hamstring injury that sidelined him to begin the season on Saturday. Grayson Allen should take his spot in the starting lineup back.
