Suns’ Jalen Green Gets Honest About Trade From Rockets originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since making the NBA Finals in 2021, the Phoenix Suns have watched the core of their roster deteriorate.

Whereas Jalen Green said he was unsurprised by the trade, Dillon Brooks told the Chronicle he didn’t expect “at all” to leave Houston until he started hearing his name in trade rumors about a week

Dillon Brooks has been a very valuable role player for the Houston Rockets over the previous two seasons. He helped the team finish the 2024-25 season as the second seed in the Western Conference with a 52-30 record.

The Houston Rockets started their summer league play this week as they were defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers 95-92. The game's score wasn't the biggest storyline, as second-year guard Reed Sheppard had a great scoring night.

The second-year guard had 28 points and also played strong defense as he helped Houston rally from a double-digit deficit.

Reed Sheppard scores 28 points, but the Rockets lose by three points to the Clippers. ESPN BET Sportsbook is owned and operated by PENN Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries ('PENN'). ESPN BET is available in states where PENN is licensed to offer sports wagering.
