Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green out at least one week due to strained left hamstring

Houston Rockets rookie guard Jalen Green will miss at least one week due to a strained left hamstring, coach Stephen Silas told reporters Friday.

Green, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, exited Wednesday's win over the Chicago Bulls in the second quarter due to the injury.

Silas said Green would be re-evaluated in a week, but there isn't a firm timetable for his return.

The 2-16 Rockets, who are attempting to rebuild with Green as a centerpiece, snapped a 15-game losing streak with the upset of the Bulls.
