Jalen Green, Houston Rockets 'lock in' after embarrassment in Portland

Jalen Green will return to the floor Tuesday night for the Houston Rockets after what he described as a "painful" night on the bench in Portland to close the weekend.

Green was sidelined for the second straight game in Sunday's contest with the Trail Blazers, which he missed due to a groin injury. His team didn't exactly hold down the fort in his absence. The Rockets dropped their ninth straight in a 131-114 loss to the Blazers, a night in which Damian Lillard drained 13 threes en route to a career-high 71 points.
