Jalen Green of the Houston Rockets has reportedly garnered trade interest leading up to the deadline, according to sources from ESPN’s Zach Lowe.

The Rockets, aiming for their first playoff appearance since the 2019-2020 season, are exploring potential deals as they have a surplus of young talent and draft picks.

Despite a decrease in his role due to roster changes, Green is averaging 18.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists this season.
