After starting the season hot, Houston Rockets<\/a> Jalen Green<\/a> had recently been in a scoring slump. Finally meeting the expectations from a #2 pick in the draft, Jalen Green dropped 41 points in a season-high scoring performance vs the 76ers in an overtime win on Wednesday. Green had been listed as ill for the past few games in Milwaukee and Portland. He still chose to play in those games, just like Michael Jordan’s<\/a> iconic Game 5 of the 1997 Finals, where he helped lead the Chicago Bulls<\/a> to their fifth championship. However, Jalen’s outburst came at a stage where he claims he has started recovering from the illness.<\/p>\n
