Suns' Jalen Green and Devin Booker
Jalen Green’s return to the Phoenix Suns lineup paid immediate dividends Tuesday night as he impressed in limited time en route to a 116-110 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
In a reserve role, Green made his presence felt on both ends of the floor, finishing with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in 20 minutes of action.
Jalen Green Electrifies in return, suns defeat 76ers
Green was one of six Suns to finish in double figures finish in double figures, as Devin Booker led the way with a game-high 27 points, Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin each scored 16 points, while Collin Gillespie and Oso Ighodaro scored 12 points apiece.
The defensive effort is worth acknowledgement, as All-Star starter Tyrese Maxey was held well below his scoring average while shooting just 7 of 25 from the field. With the win, the Suns move to 27-17 on the season, meaning the team is now 10 games above .500 for the first time this season and 3-2 through five games of a six-game road trip against Eastern Conference opponents.
