Jalen Green goes for 41 in Rockets overtime win over Philadelphia
Gina Mizell: FINAL: Rockets 122, Sixers 115 in OT. Valiant effort by the shorthanded Sixers, but Alperen Sengun (22-14-7) took over in OT and Jalen Green added 41 points and 7 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey with 39 points and 10 assists. Guerschon Yabusele with 22 and 7. Ricky Council with a big 12 and 10 off the bench. Still, the Sixers drop to 3-14.

Jonathan Feigen: Rockets center Steven Adams is out in Minneapolis tomorrow. Jalen Green (illness) is questionable. He played with the illness the past two games and sat out practice today. Mike Conley (toe) and Joe Ingles (calf) are questionable for the Timberwolves. -via Twitter @Jonathan_Feigen / November 25, 2024
Jonathan Feigen: Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green were out sick today. Green has been dealing with it the past couple games. -via x.com / November 25, 2024
David Hardisty: Ime Udoka says Jalen Green is still inconsistent as far as playing strong, smart basketball, but that his decision making has grown from last year. "What he has done a good job of is impacting games when he isn't making shots, or letting go of two, three bad quarters or a bad half and really coming through in the end." pic.x.com/sFh5dTr4zA -via Twitter @clutchfans / November 23, 2024
