Jalen Green’s long-time girlfriend, Draya Michele, recently shared pictures of the couple and their baby daughter enjoying some time off. The picture seemed to be taken right before Game 7 between Green’s Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors.
Green and Michele have been together since 2023 and seem to be pretty happy with each other, despite their 17-year age gap. As a result of their age gap, the couple has been criticized plenty but seem to have taken it in stride. Last year, the couple welcomed a baby girl.
Jalen Green has been playing for the Houston Rockets since 2021 after being selected by the team as the second overall pick in the very first round of the NBA draft. Before the NBA, the shooting guard played for the NBA G League Ignite for a solo season.
Green has been pretty spectacular for the Houston Rockets and managed to make it to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in his first year with the team. In the ongoing NBA season, Green has a 21.0 point average per game, grabbing 4.6 rebounds in every matchup, while assisting 3.4 times in each clash played.
Jalen Green’s Houston Rockets Out Of Playoffs After Game 7 Loss
Meanwhile, Jalen Green and the rest of the Houston Rockets are reeling from a nasty defeat at the hands of the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors managed to win four games of the series, while the Rockets only won three.
In Game 7, the Houston Rockets lost the game against the Warriors with a final 103-89 score. Houston’s offense was led by Amen Thompson who managed to chalk up 24 points for the team, grabbing nine rebounds and assisting thrice, while Alperen Sengun added another 21 points, with 14 boards and five helpers. Fred VanVleet was another lead scorer for the team with 17 points, along with seven rebounds.
Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks each matched eight points for the team, with Green grabbing four rebounds and assisting once. The defeat was truly devastating for the Houston Rockets who had a pretty successful regular season. In the NBA regular season, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference after winning 52 games and losing 30, one spot below the ruling Oklahoma City Thunder. On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors finished seventh in the West with 48 wins and 34 defeats.
