Jalen Green out for 6th straight game, Suns debut still on hold; Dillon Brooks remains out vs. Jazz

Jalen Green was listed as out with a right hamstring strain ahead of the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Utah Jazz on Friday night, putting his team debut on hold six games into the season.

The offseason acquisition from the Houston Rockets didn’t miss a single regular season contest the last two years but hasn’t been as fortunate thus far in the desert.

Dillon Brooks also appeared as out on the latest Suns injury report, but instead of groin soreness was designated with a core muscle strain.

It will be the third straight missed game for the forward who has averaged 19.3 points (37.3% shooting), 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 2.3 turnovers in his 30.3 minutes per game.

On the Jazz’s front, forward Georges Niang (foot) was ruled out and has yet to log minutes in a game this season.

Fans will get their first in-person look at this year’s aggressively orange NBA Cup court at Mortgage Matchup Center.

Suns-Jazz will tip off at 7 p.m. on Halloween. Listen to the action on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
