The No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft had averaged 20.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and two assists in the Summer League so far.
This has led the Rockets to a 2-1 record in the pocket tournament.
The only loss came on Thursday (Friday, Manila time), when Green only played 12 minutes against the Toronto Raptors.
He still scored 13 points, though.
Green's highlights in the Summer League include a victorious first matchup with No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons.
Green scored 25 points en route to a 111-91 drubbing of Detroit.
The Rockets play the Orlando Magic next on Sunday (Monday, Manila time).
