Rockets guard Jalen Green gives first comments on James Harden rumors

Rockets guard and 2021 No. 2 pick Jalen Green appeared on Podcast P with Paul George in an episode released Monday, a convenient time for Houston fans curious about the wishes of one of the game’s most promising young players. Green, however, didn’t offer an endorsement nor hesitation about Harden’s potential return.

“It can help and hurt at the same time,” Green told George after the Clippers forward voiced concern over such a pairing. “I haven’t really talked to him too much about the rumors and stuff like that.”
