"The Phoenix Suns won't have one of their key offseason acquisitions for opening night as Jalen Green will be sidelined because of a hamstring injury. Speaking to reporters before the Suns' preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, first-year Phoenix coach Jordan Ott said Green aggravated the injury while the team was in China earlier this month."
"Green will be reevaluated in 10 days, meaning his absence will extend beyond the Suns' regular-season opener against the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 22. Green suffered what was first called a "low-grade hamstring strain" during training camp, but still traveled with the Suns to China, where they played two preseason games against the Brooklyn Nets. The high-scoring guard is expected to be a big contributor for the Suns, who acquired him as part of the Kevin Durant trade with the Houston Rockets this offseason."
