The Phoenix Suns received a major injury scare on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks when guard Jalen Green was spotted limping and exited the floor early in the first quarter, raising serious alarm bells for a team fighting for playoff positioning.
Per Suns beat reporter Duane Rankin:
“Jalen Green left game with what appears to be a right leg injury. He limped to the locker room. Suns down 18-17. Green checked out with 8:10 left in 1st quarter.”
The timing could not be worse for Phoenix. The Suns sit seventh in the Western Conference at 43-36, with a playoff spot still very much on the line. Green has already missed significant time this season due to a recurring right hamstring strain, and another setback would be a hard blow to their postseason push.
Without Green’s scoring ability alongside Devin Booker, the Suns’ offense loses a critical dynamic weapon heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
