Of course, Green missed Wednesday’s game due to a right hamstring strain that also sidelined him for the entire preseason.
This is a massive blow to the Suns as Green is expected to play a major role for the team this season alongside Booker in the backcourt and head coach Jordan Ott said that he will also miss Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets.

With Green sidelined, Grayson Allen will likely continue to start in his place while Royce O’Neale and Collin Gillespie could also continue to have an increased role.

Clippers Injury Report
On the other side, the Clippers have ruled out Jordan Miller for Friday’s game due to left hamstring soreness.
Miller also missed their first game of the season on Wednesday against the Jazz and while he may not have a large role off the Clippers’ bench this season due to their improved depth from multiple offseason moves, he will likely have a small role this season once he returns.
