Houston Rockets: Did Jalen Green Just Confirm Baby Rumors?
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

At 22 years of age, Jalen Green is already one of the NBA’s most talented young stars. But during a post-game interview, the Houston Rockets shooting guard might have leaked that he is already a father.

But before that interview, the Rockets travelled to Capital One Arena to face the Washington Wizards. In that particular game, Houston went home with the commanding 137-114 win over D.C.

Green had an impressive showing that night by dropping 42 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists. Rockets rookie Amen Thompson added 25 points and 10 rebounds to help seal the victory for Houston.

The Wizards, on the other hand, didn’t have Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, or Tyus Jones in the lineup. Instead, they had Corey Kispert, Justin Champagnie, and Jules Bernard, who scored 16 each, to lead Washington.

This loss solidified the Wizards’ hold on the NBA’s worst record with 11 wins and 58 losses. The Rockets, meanwhile, are 11th in the Western Conference with a 33-35 record and still without budding big man Alperen Sengun.

Houston Rockets Star Jalen Green Seemingly Confirmed He is a Father

After his big game in D.C., Green was interviewed and asked what motivated him. The Rockets star’s response can be seen in a video posted by NBACentral on X:

Since the Rockets returned from the All-Star break, Green has averaged 23.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. His efficiency has also improved to 44 percent from the field and 38 percent from beyond the perimeter.

After almost a week of showing a tattoo of Draya Michele’s name on his stomach, Green has seemingly confirmed that his rumored partner has given birth to his child. While the Rockets’ star didn’t mention Michele or the child by name, fans have deciphered his answer as an acknowledgement of their family.

Michele is 39 years old while Green just turned 22 last February. It remains to be seen whether the Rockets star will tell more in the coming weeks.
