Jalen Green Returns to Starting Five, Explodes for 26 Points in Season-High Minutes

Jalen Green returned to the Phoenix Suns' starting lineup for the first time since November 8, logging a season-high 26 minutes against the Spurs. He notched 26 points (11-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. This performance is a positive sign for his recovery from a hamstring injury that limited him to 20 minutes or less previously. Green took on a larger role with Dillon Brooks suspended and Devin Booker (hip) exiting early, showcasing his conditioning and offensive potential.
