Houston Rockets star rookie Jalen Green is set to return Thursday against the Indiana Pacers after missing the last 13 games with a hamstring issue, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania and Kelly Iko.
Green left Houston's Nov. 24 win over the Chicago Bulls with the injury. That Rockets' victory sparked a seven-game winning streak following 15 straight losses, which had never happened before in NBA history.
This year's No. 2 pick is averaging 14 points per game on 38% shooting from the field, adding 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
