Jalen Green is set to be a father as his partner and model, Draya Michele, announced her pregnancy on social media on the occasion of International Women’s Day. The topic of their relationship has been controversial as the couple have a 17-year age gap between them. Hence, the pregnancy news also did not sit well with fans.
However, the star seems overjoyed by the news. Green is having an amazing week as he is averaging 28.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists over the last five games. On Tuesday, he took the performance to another level in a monstrous performance against the Washington Wizards. The Houston Rockets guard tied his career high of 42 points in the Rockets 137-114 win. The guard had a double-double with 10 rebounds and three assists.
The player publicly had not reacted to the news until after Tuesday’s game. In the post-game interview, the sideline reporter asked Green about the motivating factor for the career-high performance. The player could not help but smile and mention the upcoming addition to his family.
My family, my baby.
Jalen Green said as a response post match
Despite netizens pointing fingers at the player and his baby mama, Green expressed being motivated by the news.
The Houston Rockets are currently on a six-game winning streak. Two more players scored a double-double to help Green. Amen Thompson scored 25 points with 10 rebounds and Jabari Smith Jr. scored 18 points with 14 rebounds. The team is currently 11th in the Western Conference, two games behind the Golden State Warriors. The team has a chance to qualify for the playoffs if they keep this winning streak alive.
