Suns Provide Injury Updates on Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green
The Phoenix Suns have not yet fielded a fully healthy lineup this season. Both starters, guard Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, have missed several games.
Green suffered a hamstring injury before preseason and has yet to appear in a regular-season game. Brooks has been sidelined for three consecutive games, including the latest matchup against the Utah Jazz, due to a core muscle strain.
Coach Jordan Ott's Update
“We are continuing to evaluate them day-by-day. We haven't had a lot of 5-on-5 sessions because of our schedule. Yesterday, we focused on film and walkthroughs, which they have been able to participate in.”
Both players joined Phoenix through the Kevin Durant trade with the Houston Rockets. Green was initially expected to be re-evaluated ten days after being ruled out before the season began, but there is no definite timeline for his debut.
“You can see how engaged he is and how much he wants to be out there, both in games and practice. He's been great the entire time, getting reps here and there, which has helped his progress. We hope his involvement in live games can increase quickly because of the work he's been doing off the court.”
Background

Summary: The Phoenix Suns continue a careful, day-by-day approach to managing injuries for key players Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, aiming to accelerate their return without rushing recovery.
