On July 29, 2021, Green was selected by the Houston Rockets second overall in the 2021 NBA draft, making him the first ever player being drafted out from the G-League, followed by former Ignite teammates Jonathan Kuminga and Isaiah Todd. [1] [36] Many thought the Rockets would take USC big-man Evan Mobley with the 2nd overall pick but Houston took Green to pair aside with Kevin Porter Jr in the backcourt with James Harden being dealt during the season . [37] On August 8, he made his summer league debut in a 84–76 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers where he posted 23 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 30 minutes. [38] He made the All-Summer League Second Team after missing the last three of five games due to soreness on his right hamstring. [39] [40] He made his preseason debut on October 5 in a 125–119 win against the Washington Wizards with 12 points, six rebounds, and two assists. [41] On October 20, Green made his NBA debut, putting up nine points, four rebounds, and four assists in a 124–106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

[44] Unfortunately for Green, he started out his rookie season suffering with a hamstring injury on his lower left leg after a home game win against the Chicago Bulls and been sidelined out of the rotation for a while. [45] After missing 14-games in a month from his hamstring injury, Green returned to the starting line up on December 24, scoring 20 points by going on a 6-for-9 from the three point line in a loss road trip game to the Indiana Pacers. [46]

On February 19, 2022, Green participated in the Slam Dunk Contest, finishing in third place.

[48] In his final game as a rookie, Green scored a then-career high with 41 points in a 130–114 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, which was the first 40-point game by a Rockets rookie since Hakeem Olajuwon. [49] [50] At the end of the regular season, he was named Rookie of the Month for March and April. [51] He was selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team with averages of 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. [52]

2022–23 season

Prior to the 2022–23 season, Green changed his jersey number from 0 to 4. [53] Green was unable to wear number 4 during his rookie season since Danuel House, who was still a teammate with Green, refused to exchange number jerseys with him since the number was of significance to him before being waived by the Rockets on December 17, 2021. [54] [55] In his second game of the season, Green played 35 minutes with a record of 33 points with four threes, five rebounds, two assists, and a steal in a 129–122 loss to the Grizzlies. [56] On November 7, 2022, scored 34 points in a win against the Orlando Magic, making him the sixth guard in NBA history to score at least 30 points ten or more times before turning 21, joining other elite guards in Luka Dončić, Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, and Kyrie Irving. [57] [58] On November 26, he secured a career-high nine assists along with 28 points and three rebounds in a 118–105 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. [59] In December 2, Green logged 20 points in the third quarter leading with 30 points in a 122–121 comeback game win against the Phoenix Suns. [60]

On January 15, 2023, the NBA suspended Green along with teammate Jae'Sean Tate for one game without pay for leaving the bench area during an altercation between the Rockets and the Sacramento Kings two days earlier. [61] On January 18, Green tied a then-career high of 41 points with seven assists and five rebounds in a 121–117 loss against the Charlotte Hornets. [62] On January 23, he surpassed his career high with 42 points along with four rebounds and four assists in a 119–114 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. [63] He became the only sixth player at 20 or younger to have recorded at least three 40-point games. [64] On February 8, Green scored 41 points along with two assists and rebounds, securing his fourth game of 40 or more points before turning 21, tied for the third most in NBA history. He achieved this a day before his 21st birthday. [65] [66]

2023–24 season

Green was nearly traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Mikal Bridges. The deal would have sent Green and Brooklyn's picks back from the James Harden trade to the Nets. [67] [68] On March 19, 2024, Green put up a career-high 42 points, along with 10 rebounds and three assists, in a 137–114 win over the Washington Wizards. [69]
