Jalen Green's Debut Leads Suns to Win Over Clippers

Jalen Green made an impressive debut for the Phoenix Suns, scoring 29 points in a 115–102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. His performance marked the highest scoring output this season by any Suns player not named Devin Booker, immediately highlighting his value to the team.

Displaying calmness and efficiency throughout the game, Green looked fully in control of his rhythm and decision-making. Known for his athletic flair, he balanced aggression with smart play, allowing his natural talent to shine in key moments.

“Takes a lot of pressure off anybody,” Devin Booker said about Green. “With the opportunity and space, he can pretty much do anything.”

In only 23 minutes on the court, Green shot 10-of-20 from the field, including 6-of-13 from beyond the arc, and posted a +30 plus-minus — the highest in the game. His ability to translate skill into winning production was evident from the start.

After missing the first eight games of the season, Green admitted that the anticipation kept him restless: he couldn’t manage his usual pregame nap. Nonetheless, his debut energy turned into one of the season’s standout performances for the Suns.
