Following a dominant win over the Jazz, the 7th-seed Phoenix Suns remain competitive despite season-long injuries. Guard Jalen Green, who missed significant time with a hamstring issue, shared post-game that he feels blessed to be back playing, even as he works to regain his full verticality.
Even though they had to deal with unfortunate injuries throughout the whole season, Phoenix Suns are looking much better than anybody expected before the season started.

Sitting at 7th place in the Western Conference, Suns are projected to have home court advantage in the play-in phase.
Jalen Green was supposed to be one of the most important players of the team, but missed a huge portion of games so far with hamstring difficulties.
Green recovered and in 26 games so far, averaged 18.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 26 minutes per game.
After Suns' 134-109 win over Utah Jazz last night, Green was asked post-game about the condition of his hamstring.
"I feel good. Very blessed and happy to be able to get back out there without any problems," Green started.
"As far as my jumping, I feel like I used to be a little more bouncier. I had a couple of attempts of dunking that got blocked. But some days I wake up and the bounce is there, so I’m gonna take that," he concluded.
