Good news, Rockets Jaylen Green and Curry collided with knees and said they would be able to play the Warriors in Game 6

Rockets Jaylen Green updated his sixth game after a knee injury against the Warriors

Rockets guard Jaylen Green said he will play in Game 6 against the Warriors after colliding with Stephen Curry.

The Houston Rockets were at their best when Jaylen Green attacked aggressively and became the team's scoring champion. Although Alperen Sengon is the only All-Star player on the team, Green is the X-factor for the team with his three-point shooting ability.

In the second game of the Houston Rockets' 109-94 victory over the Golden State Warriors, Green showed these abilities, scoring 38 points, including eight three-pointers. But the young defender performed mediocrely in the rest of the first round series. Green scored just 11 points in the fifth game that the team won Wednesday night after 8 and 9 points in Game 3 and 4, respectively. However, the 23-year-old was suffering from a knee injury at the time.

Green was defended by Stephen Curry in the first quarter of Wednesday night's game against the Warriors. When Green made the move, passing the ball to Sengen at the free throw line, he was ready to cut into the basket, but his left knee collided with Curry's left knee. The Rockets guard immediately felt uncomfortable and limped towards Houston's bench.

Greene, accompanied by training staff on the bench and a cyclist near the locker room, showed a painful expression on his face, trying to get rid of the soreness of his knees. Although he eventually returned to the field with a score of 131-116, it was obvious that something went wrong with the Rockets' scoring champion.

Although Greene was clearly limited in the Rockets’ winning series and extending the game, he made it clear after the game that he “should be able” to play Game 6 in San Francisco on Friday night, according to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle.

This is obviously good news for the Rockets, as they need to go all out and strive to play a decisive seventh home game. The Warriors beat the Rockets in both playoff games at Chase Center, but Houston is no stranger to winning in San Francisco.

On April 6, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 106-96 in front of Golden State Warriors fans. The victory eventually helped Houston win second place in the Western Conference, which directly caused the Warriors to fall to seventh place in the Western Conference.

The sixth match on Friday night will be a high-spirited match, and the results may be different. Houston has been at its best when Jaylen Green scored throughout the 2024-25 season and they expect him to be good again, as he did when he destroyed the Warriors defense earlier this season.
