Jalen Green had 12 points off the bench as he made his long-awaited return to the Suns' lineup in a win over Philadelphia last night.
Catch up quick: Green came to Phoenix as part of the offseason trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston, but he'd only played in two games this year and missed 33 due to a hamstring injury.
The intrigue: The Suns have been one of the league's biggest surprises this year and are firmly in the playoff hunt after dramatically outperforming low preseason expectations.
With the high-scoring Green back on the court, the Suns' ceiling just got higher.
