Jalen Green's Availability in Question for Suns vs. Nets
The Phoenix Suns' Jalen Green is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a hamstring injury. Green has been dealing with this issue since the start of the season, missing the first eight games of the 2025-26 season and re-aggravating the injury in two of his four appearances. His recent performance has been limited, playing just four minutes in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Miami Heat, where he scored four points, grabbed one rebound, and registered one assist.
The Suns' other key player, Devin Booker, is also out with a right ankle sprain, which he suffered in Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He will be re-evaluated one week from Sunday, adding to the team's current challenges.
Brooklyn Nets' Injury Concerns
The Nets have their own injury concerns, with Noah Clowney ruled out due to back soreness and Tyrese Martin questionable with left knee soreness. Clowney's absence is notable, as he didn't play on Sunday against the Clippers, while Martin managed 14 minutes of action, contributing two points, two assists, and one rebound.
On a positive note for the Nets, Cam Thomas and Nolan Traore are probable to play. Thomas, who suffered a left ankle sprain in the second half of Friday's game against the Celtics, missed Sunday's match but is expected to return. Traore, who missed the previous game due to illness, is also set to take the court.
Haywood Highsmith, who has been out since recovering from right knee surgery, remains on the sidelines.
