With 9 points on 4-of-15 shooting (26.7%), including 1-of-6 on 3-pointers (16.7%), the sophomore slump continued for second-year Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green in Sunday’s 104-96 home loss (box score) to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Toyota Center.
In his previous 20 games, Green had shot just 38.9% from the field and 28.6% on 3-pointers. While the No. 2 overall draft pick from the NBA’s 2021 first round still averaged 21.2 points in 34.4 minutes per game over that time, thanks largely to high volume, the 20-year-old’s subpar efficiency slump continues to pick up steam.
