Jalen Green made a memorable entrance in his first game for the Phoenix Suns, contributing 29 points to secure a 115–102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night in Phoenix.

In just 23 minutes on the court, Green went 10-for-20 from the field and hit 6 of 13 from beyond the arc. He also recorded a game-best +30, which reflected his significant contribution to the team’s success.
