Suns’ Jalen Green Cleared to Play Against Cavaliers

The Phoenix Suns will see the return of guard Jalen Green, who has been cleared to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a significant boost for the Suns as they prepare for their upcoming matchup.

Jalen Green’s Return

Jalen Green had been sidelined due to a hamstring injury, missing the last three games. He suffered this injury during a loss to the Atlanta Hawks on January 23, playing just over four minutes.

Since joining the Suns in the Kevin Durant trade, Green has made appearances in only four of the last 46 games. However, he demonstrated his potential in his first start for Phoenix in November, scoring 29 points against the Los Angeles Clippers. He shot 50% from the field, along with three rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Suns’ Recent Performance

Despite the absence of both Green and Devin Booker, who remains out with a right ankle sprain, the Suns have achieved back-to-back victories. Their latest win was a powerful performance against the Detroit Pistons, highlighted by Dillon Brooks’ career-high 40 points.

Cavaliers Injury Report

The Cleveland Cavaliers also face challenges with their lineup. Key players are missing, including:

  • Darius Garland – out with a right great toe sprain
  • Evan Mobley – out due to a left calf strain
  • Max Strus – recovering from left foot surgery
  • Craig Porter Jr. – questionable with left knee soreness
