Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, as is starting point guard Collin Gillespie due to a right hand sprain.

Devin Booker remains out for Phoenix after the team said he will be reevaluated one week from Sunday following a right ankle sprain in Friday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Forward Isaiah Livers was a late scratch with an illness following a probable listing.

Green did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Miami Heat after he exited Friday’s loss early.

He came off the bench and played four minutes in the first quarter, totaling four points, one rebound and one assist.

Green has played in just four out of 46 regular-season games for the Suns after arriving via the Kevin Durant trade, which also landed the Suns Dillon Brooks and the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which was used to pick Khaman Maluach.

Green missed the first eight games of 2025-26 and first appeared on Nov. 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He then reaggravated the hamstring injury in two of the four games he played in.

Nets injury report vs. Suns

The Nets have ruled out Noah Clowney (back soreness), and Tyrese Martin is questionable with left knee soreness.

Clowney did not play Sunday against the Clippers, while Martin played 14 minutes and had two points, two assists and one rebound.

Cam Thomas (left ankle sprain) is available, while rookie guard Nolan Traore (illness) is probable.

Thomas missed Sunday’s game after suffering the injury in the second half of Friday’s loss to the Celtics.

Suns-Nets will tip off at 7 p.m. MST on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
