Suns Provide Injury Updates on Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green

The Phoenix Suns have yet to see their full lineup healthy this season. Both starting guards, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, have missed multiple games due to injuries.

Injury Details

Coaching Staff Updates

Suns coach Jordan Ott provided updates on the injured players, noting ongoing daily evaluations:

"It's continuing to evaluate them day-by-day. We haven't had a ton of 5-on-5 because of our schedule. Yesterday, the day in between, more just film and walk through. They've been able to partake in all of that."

Background

Brooks and Green joined Phoenix in the trade involving Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. Green was initially ruled out before the season started and expected to be re-evaluated after ten days, but his return timeline remains unclear.

Coach's Remarks on Jalen Green

"You can see him in games, how engaged he is and how much he wants to be out there. It's the same in practice. He's been great the entire time. So he's getting it in here and there and that's really helped him as he's progressed here. We know when he gets into live action that hopefully his involvement overall can be sped up because of the reps he's been able to take even though he isn't playing in the game."

Green's dedication in practice is expected to accelerate his readiness once he returns to live competition.

Summary: The Suns continue to manage injuries to key guards Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, with the coaching staff optimistic about their progress despite limited playing time.
