NBA Fans have found another moment to flood social media with jokes, this time targeting Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green after reports confirmed he will miss several weeks due to a hamstring injury.
According to @LegionHoops, “Jalen Green is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury.”

The update immediately went viral—not for sympathy, but for the wave of memes that followed.
One fan, @joegi991, cracked, “Well, at least his grandma, I mean, girlfriend, is going to take care of him at home!” referencing the internet’s long-running joke about Green’s much older partner.
Another post from @footballguy82 piled on the humor, saying, “Told yall fools what would happen after that good game. Rockets fans know he’s cursed.”
For NBA Fans who’ve followed Green’s streaky career, this was yet another setback in a season that was finally starting to show promise.
The jokes aside, it’s a serious blow for Houston. Green had been showing flashes of improvement before the injury hit again. What frustrates NBA Fans most is how often this story repeats itself—just when he gains momentum, something physical forces him out.
It’s hard to tell whether it’s conditioning, bad luck, or just poor timing, but NBA Fans are starting to lose patience. And as always, NBA Fans will be there—ready with both support and jokes—every step of the way.
NBA Fans React To Jalen Green’s Hamstring Injury And The Rockets’ Ongoing Bad Luck
The bad news keeps coming for Houston, and NBA Fans can’t help but point out the trend. During the recent game, Jalen Green limped off the court after an apparent reinjury of the same hamstring that’s been bothering him since preseason.

While @patentjt added, “Oh man, that looks bad. Probably don’t see JG until mid-Dec.”
It was the kind of scene NBA Fans have seen far too many times—not just with Green, but with the entire Rockets core.
While most of the focus was on Green, one fan, @brianfrye12, summed up the mood perfectly, saying, “I sware the Suns are cursed. Maybe if I stop caring they will win. Idk. This is crazy.” The comment, though directed at another team, echoed what many NBA Fans feel about Houston’s never-ending cycle of bad luck and timing.
The Rockets’ season is suddenly looking uncertain again. For now, NBA Fans are left hoping that this is the last time they’ll have to read “Jalen Green out with a hamstring issue” for a while.
