Jalen Green just had two great back-to-back seasons to start his career with the Houston Rockets.
But just because his time in the NBA has been off to a wonderful start doesn’t mean he’s simply resting during the offseason.
Instead, he is finding more ways to play the game before the new season begins.
Pro-am league TheCrawsOver announced that Green will be playing in a game this Saturday.
They advised fans to show up early because it is sure to attract a lot of attention now that Green is playing.

Pro-am leagues have always been a way for NBA stars to shake off the rust, have some fun, and perform for the fans during the summer.
The games are often free of charge and a great way to allow people who might not attend regular NBA games to see their favorite stars play.
If his last couple of years are any indication, Green could put on quite a show this weekend.
During his first two seasons, he has gotten consistently better.
He started in 2021-22 with an average of 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists.
But in 2022-23, he produced 22.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists too.
He is one of the most talked-about young players in the league because he is obviously flourishing.
This is important for the Rockets because they are a team with a lot of youth but not a lot of success.
But they made some substantial changes during this offseason, improved the roster, and added a new head coach.
This will give Green more opportunity to shine in 2023-24 and will also give the team a fighting chance to actually make some sort of impact on the Western Conference.
