The Phoenix Suns have been performing well this season, even after they traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. In that trade, the Suns received both Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks.
The latter has been superb for the Suns this season, but the former has struggled to get onto the floor due to his injuries. Now, Green is back, and he fits in quite naturally because he has built good chemistry with his new teammates.
Green is glad to be back with teammates he loves
Green initially returned to the Suns’ active squad in early November from a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, he re-aggravated the injury after only two games, which led to him missing two more months.
Thankfully for Green, he has been ingrained in the Suns’ culture throughout the season. This has helped him strengthen his chemistry with the Suns, so it has not been difficult for him to adjust to the team.
Moving forward, the Suns have shown that they are one of the most impressive teams in the league. They have surpassed all kinds of expectations this season, as they are firmly in the hunt for an automatic spot in the postseason.
Green is glad to be back, especially since he loves playing alongside the guys he has become friends with over the past few months.
“It was really easy, especially when we vibe so well together. The energy and camaraderie were great. It was easy to make it back onto the court because they have been supporting me,” Green said to Amanda Pflugrad after the win on Tuesday.
With Green in the fold, the Suns will be much more dynamic. He and Devin Booker look to be a superb backcourt, and they complement each other well with their skill sets.
As the Suns continue to progress, they could be a surprise team in the Western Conference. Being a dark horse can be challenging, but the Suns have the talent to pull off upsets when they are least expected to do so.
