Even on his third game in three consecutive nights, Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green was ready to put on a show at All-Star Weekend.
In the first game of Friday’s Rising Stars tournament, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2021 NBA draft was electric as a scorer from 3-point range and at the rim, as shown by a series of highlight dunks.
Team Worthy, which Green participated on, ultimately lost in a heartbreaker, 50-49 (box score). But Green scored a game-high 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting (61.5%), including 4-of-9 on 3-pointers (44.4%), and he was the best player on an extremely talented floor. The newly turned 20-year-old also had 2 steals, 2 assists, and a blocked shot.
