Jalen Green to Compete for Suns in Tuesday’s Play-In Game?

Phoenix finished the regular season as the Western Conference’s No. 7 seed. The rise surprised many observers after the team ended last season near the conference bottom.

Play-in matchup

Phoenix will open its postseason in the play-in tournament. The Suns face the Portland Trail Blazers in the No. 7 vs. No. 8 game on Tuesday.

Injury update and availability

Jalen Green suffered a knee injury near the close of the regular season. Team officials removed him from the Suns’ injury report for Tuesday night.

There is no clear indication of a minute restriction for Green. He appears cleared to play with Phoenix’s season at stake this week.

Scoring burden

The Suns lean heavily on Devin Booker and Jalen Green for offense. Both players figure to be central if Phoenix advances past the play-in.

Outlook

With Green off the injury list, Phoenix enters the game in better health. The matchup against Portland will determine whether the team extends its postseason run.
