Jaylen Green: It’s great to be back on the court. The basketball culture and fans in Phoenix are great.

In the previous NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, successfully defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 115-102. After this game, the Suns' record improved to 4 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by the Clippers and many teams to rank 9th in the Western Conference; while the Clippers, who had suffered three consecutive losses, had a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking was surpassed by many teams and fell to 12th in the Western Conference.

After this game, rising backcourt star Jalen Green, who made his debut on behalf of the Suns, was interviewed by reporters. In the interview, he also talked about the feeling of returning to the game and the basketball culture of Phoenix fans and the team. When talking about the feeling of returning to the game, Green said: It feels so good to return to the game! I told everyone on the team that I was so excited that I didn’t even take a nap. All I could think about was getting back on the court to play. I really put in too much effort during this period, and the rehabilitation training process was not easy and full of hardships. I would also like to express my special thanks to everyone for staying with me and helping me complete my recovery. I'm really happy to be able to play again. As for the result of the game, we actually didn't expect it to be like this before the game.

When talking about the basketball culture in Phoenix and the fans here, Green said: I am very excited and very lucky to be back on the court. It's also a big blessing to be able to play in Phoenix. I know there is a great basketball culture here and everyone loves basketball. The other thing I want to say is that our fans are amazing, they are unbelievable. Even before I was a part of this team, I always felt that the fans here were very passionate about everyone in the team and the atmosphere in the stadium was very good. Everyone comes to the stadium to cheer for the team every game and shout for the team. I am honored to play here.

In this game, Green's performance was impressive. Making his debut on behalf of the Suns, he made 10 of 20 shots, 6 of 13 from behind the three-point line, and 3 of 5 free throws in 22 minutes and 58 seconds of playing time. He scored a game-high 29 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He also had 2 turnovers and 1 foul. His plus-minus reached a game-high +30. Green dominated the offensive end, showing his comprehensive scoring ability and scoring a lot of points in various ways. Not only that, his performance in passing and organization as well as on the defensive end is remarkable. It is not easy to produce such data with such limited playing time. I don't know if Green's return from injury can help the Suns rebound in record.
