Plays 20 minutes in return
Green (hamstring) finished Tuesday's 116-110 win over Philadelphia with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes.
Analyse
Heading into Tuesday, Green had been limited to just three appearances all season due to a right hamstring strain and a subsequent aggravation, but he got the green light to play for the first time since Nov. 8. Because he was operating with a strict minutes limit, Green was deployed all the bench and delivered all 12 of his points in the game's first three quarters. Green's minutes should ramp up as he gets reconditioned, and he could eventually bump Collin Gillespie to a reserve role once his playing-time restriction is lifted.

Coming off bench in return
Green (hamstring) will be available off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 8 and for what will be his third appearance of the season following a lengthy absence due to a right hamstring strain, Green will be brought off the bench in order for the Suns to better manage his minutes. Green will likely be operating with a restriction for his first few games back from injury, so fantasy managers in shallower leagues may not necessarily want to activate him right away while he shakes off the rust and gets ramped back up.

Cleared from injury report
Green (hamstring) is officially off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analyse
Green is all set to return from his second lengthy absence of the season due to a hamstring strain. The star guard is likely to face a minutes restriction Tuesday and should be monitored closely for a few weeks. Collin Gillespie and Royce O'Neale appear to be the most likely candidates to move to the bench if Green starts during his return.

Ready for Tuesday return
Green (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Monday's game in Brooklyn, will play Tuesday against the 76ers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Green is ready for just his third appearance of the 2025-26 campaign after putting a right hamstring strain behind him. He figures to be on a minutes limit in his first game back considering he hasn't played in a game since Nov. 8 and will presumably need at least a few games to get his legs under him before the Suns hand him a full workload. Grayson Allen figures to lose out on playing time as Green begins to ramp back up.

Remaining out Monday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analyse
Green hasn't played since Nov. 8 due to a right hamstring strain and will remain on the shelf Monday. However, the 23-year-old guard was upgraded to questionable for the first time since picking up the injury, and he appears to be close to a return to action. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Philadelphia.

Chance to return Monday
Green (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analyse
Green hasn't played since Nov. 8 due to a right hamstring strain but could return to the lineup Monday. The 23-year-old guard has participated in 5-on-5 work recently, and he appears to be nearing a return even if he isn't cleared to play against Brooklyn. While the fifth-year pro will likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he comes back, his eventual return would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen.

Won't play Saturday
Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Green hasn't played since Nov. 8 due to a right hamstring strain, though head coach Jordan Ott said Tuesday that he has progressed to "playing with some players and coaches," according to Shane Young of Suns.com. The 23-year-old guard's next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Nets.
