Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (9) makes a kiss gesture after hitting a 3-pointer against the New Orleans Pelicans during the first half on a preseason NBA basketball game on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024 in Houston.
In an NBA increasingly known for load management, Rockets guard Jalen Green is an exception to the rule. Tuesday was his 150th consecutive start.
The first choice for Houston's representation in the All-Star Game is Alperen Sengun, who has shown more consistency throughout the season. He's averaging 19.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists this season. However, Green has a case as well, seeing as how he leads the Rockets in points per game.
The Rockets are linked with a new trade target, Amen Thompson faced off against his twin brother and the rest of the league is giving Jalen Green his props.
Jalen Green and Draya Michele are private about their relationship, but the Rockets star posted a rare message of affection on Instagram for his girlfriend.
Jalen Green shares a heartfelt post for Draya Michele’s 40th birthday as the couple celebrates love, life, and milestones together.
Jalen Green scored 26 points and the Houston Rockets beat Portland 125-103, the Trail Blazers’ fifth straight loss.
Rockets outmuscle Hawks, who drop 6th straight game
Reserve announcements for the NBA's 2025 All-Star Game will be made next Thursday, Jan. 30, and Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka believes he should have two players in heavy consideration. In comments from Friday's team practice, Udoka pointed to fourth-year players Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun as worthy of the Western Conference honor.
Jalen Green just won the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week award, playing some of the best basketball of his career since Jan. 1, averaging 28.7 points on 51.2% shooting from the field and 47.
Jalen Green's scoring streak is a huge boost, but the Rockets' revival on offense is also thanks to players like Amen Thompson and Fred VanVleet.
