Jalen Green has been ruled out for the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
Suns coach Jordan Ott told reporters Monday that Green, who was previously questionable for the Nets matchup, will play in the Suns’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
Devin Booker, who was questionable with left ankle soreness, is available, per Monday’s NBA injury report.
Additionally, Jamaree Bouyea (concussion) is now available after missing the last seven games.
Green played in only two games this season due to a right hamstring strain. He has been out since early November after he reaggravated the injury.
The Suns on Dec. 22 gave a reevaluation period of Jan. 5-12.
“He’s another person out there that’ll have rim presence for us and draw a lot of fouls,” Booker told reporters postgame on Saturday. “We’re all getting excited for Jalen. He’s been licking his chops getting ready for this moment. I think we’ve overdone it with keeping him out. He’s going to be healthy and strong and ready to go.”
Nets injury report vs. Suns
The Nets will be without several players for Monday’s matchup against the Suns, including Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management), Day’Ron Sharpe (illness) and Cam Thomas (left hamstring injury).
Suns-Nets will tip off at 5:30 p.m. MST on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.

Booker stated, 'I think we’ve overdone it with keeping him out. He’s going to be healthy and strong and ready to go.”
Which begs the question; did Devin stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently ?
Ayton has been doing this same thing since he came in the league. He’ll come back to Earth soon enough and the L’s fans will be calling for his head again.
Rinse, wash and repeat.
“We” aren’t talking about him. It was Spliff and myself. Nobody out a gun to your head and forced yoy to read my comment or respond to it.
At least you broadening your interests though, in addition to an Internet name spelling police you have added content police.
