Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has played in all 82 games for the second consecutive NBA season, marking his 186th consecutive game, which is the third-longest active streak in the NBA. Head coach Ime Udoka praised Green's commitment to playing every game, highlighting its positive influence on the team, especially considering the trend of players sitting out frequently.
Green's consistent presence on the court has been a significant factor in the Rockets' success, as they secured the second seed in the Western Conference with a 52-30 record. Leading the team in scoring with an average of 21.0 points per game this season, Green has been instrumental in Houston's rise in the standings under Udoka's leadership. As the Rockets gear up for the 2025 NBA playoffs, Green will make his postseason debut in a first-round matchup against either the Golden State Warriors or the Memphis Grizzlies, with the exact schedule yet to be determined.
