Jalen Green reclaimed his spot in the Rockets’ starting lineup Saturday, though it was not the return he hoped for, coinciding with Houston’s worst defeat of the season.
Jalen Green, left, missed his first three games of the season because of injury after suffering a bruised calf.
The second-year guard said the nature of the injury was such that it continues to hamper the mobility and strength of his right leg, affecting his ability to dribble and get the requisite lift in his jump shot. Although Green doesn’t expect to miss additional games, it might take time for him to return to form.
“It was a little shaky in that first half,” Green said. “I didn't really stress it. My ankle's a little weak just because I haven't been using my foot, like really moving it like that, but it's feeling better. That second half, I started stretching it a little more. I got my mobility back, just getting a little bit stronger.”
