Jalen Green Shines with 29 Points in Phoenix Suns Debut
Jalen Green made a strong impression in his first game for the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, scoring 29 points to lead the team to a 115-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers played without key players James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, marking their third straight loss.
Green's Impact on the Court
After missing the Suns’ first eight games due to a right hamstring strain, Green logged 23 minutes, shooting 10 of 20 overall with six three-pointers out of 13 attempts. Acquired from Houston in a major seven-team trade involving Kevin Durant during the offseason, Green immediately became a valuable addition for Phoenix.
