The No. 2 overall pick in last month's draft left Thursday's 92-76 loss to the Toronto Raptors in the first half and did not return. Green had been one of the standouts of Summer League, averaging 20.3 points on 51.4% shooting, 4.3 rebounds and two assists in three games.

The Rockets don't believe the injury is a "significant concern," according to ESPN. However, he is set to undergo a precautionary MRI.

Green, who opted not to take the college route, played in the NBA G League last year, averaging 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 36.5% from deep.
