Co-leads Phoenix in scoring Friday Green registered 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals across 23 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Green got off to a strong start and recorded 10 points in the first quarter alone, and he ultimately co-led Phoenix in scoring next to Dillon Brooks. The three steals were encouraging, and he's coming off averaging a career-best 1.1 swipes per game in the 2025-26 regular season, so there might be some upside there. But his fantasy value will mainly depend on what he does in the scoring column. He averaged 17.8 points per game across 32 regular-season appearances (27 starts) in 2025-26 in an injury-marred campaign. Green's scoring upside remains appealing for fantasy managers, particularly if he can maintain efficient perimeter shooting while contributing defensively during the regular season.

Good to go Friday Green (rest) is available for Friday's preseason game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Green was given the night off during Wednesday's loss to San Antonio. However, the 24-year-old guard will return to the lineup for the Suns' preseason finale.

Sitting versus Spurs Green (rest) won't play Wednesday versus the Spurs, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

Impact Green was expected to sit this one out, so the latest update isn't surprising. His final chance to suit up before the start of the regular season will come Friday against Utah.

Likely to sit Wednesday Green did not participate in Wednesday's full morning shootaround and isn't expected to face San Antonio, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Green is among six Suns players expected to miss Wednesday's exhibition contest. The reason for his anticipated absence is likely maintenance related, leaving Friday's preseason finale against Utah as his next potential opportunity to take the floor.

Efficient shooting night in preseason win Green recorded 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 102-98 preseason win over the Spurs.

Impact With Devin Booker (rest) sidelined, Luke Kennard (20 points) and Green led the scoring attack for Phoenix. The 24-year-old swingman turned in an efficient shooting performance and also tied for the team lead in assists. He's scored in double figures in all three of his preseason appearances in 2026 and has shot 14-for-28 from the field thus far.

Productive against Chicago Green played 22 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Bulls, scoring 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.

Impact The former Rocket is heading into his second campaign with the Suns and is mainly hoping to stay healthy in 2026-27 after averaging 25.9 minutes over 32 regular-season games last season due to a hamstring issue. If Green can stay on the court, he should be one of Phoenix's primary offensive threats after topping 20.0 PPG in two of his last three seasons with Houston.

Drops 11 points in preseason loss Green totaled 11 points (3-6 FG, 4-6 FT, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to the Pistons.

Impact Green was one of three Suns players to score double digits, an encouraging sign given all the injury concerns he had last season. While this was obviously a very small sample size, Green looked energized on the offensive end, a positive sign for anyone considering him in drafts. As a result of basically missing the entire 2025-26 campaign, managers are showing caution when it comes to drafting him, typically targeting him well past pick 100. As a player who can routinely put up in excess of 20 points per game, Green makes for a highly valuable late-round target.
