Javonte Green Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Hawks vs Pistons game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 4, 2025
Posts nine in loss
Green closed with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 113-109 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green's role has fluctuated due to the return of multiple key players from injuries, averaging just 3.3 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.3 assists across 10.6 minutes in his last seven games after averaging 14.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 32.6 minutes in the five games (three starts) before. Green has shown that he can step up for Detroit when necessary, and if injuries occur to gash the team's wing depth again, he is a candidate to see heavy usage.
Nov 27, 2025
Barely sees floor in loss
Green registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Green's role has regressed in recent times, having now played fewer than 15 minutes in three straight games. With Detroit now relatively healthy, Green is likely to serve as a depth piece on most nights. Over his last three games, Green has averaged just 3.0 points in 11.2 minutes per contest.
Nov 17, 2025
Back to bench vs. Pacers
Green won't start in Monday's game against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
A string of three straight starts for Green is going to be broken up Monday. Green has averaged 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.6 minutes per contest over 13 games this season.
Nov 11, 2025
Double-doubles in start
Green registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Green moved into the starting lineup, filling in for Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson, who were both ruled out with ankle injuries. Green has served as a makeshift starter in the past, a role that he seems to enjoy. He recorded his first double-double of the season and could be worth a speculative short-term pickup if Harris and Thompson miss more time moving forward.
Nov 10, 2025
Slated to start Monday
Green is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green will make his first start of the season with Ausar Thompson (ankle) and Tobias Harris (ankle) sidelined. Green has played 20-plus minutes off the bench in each of his past four games, averaging 5.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals during that span.
Nov 10, 2025
Scores six in win
Green chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green logged a season-high 28 minutes Sunday, which can be attributed to the respective absences of Tobias Harris (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (ankle). Once either of those two return, Green's role will revert back to seeing 17-22 minutes per game off the bench.
Nov 2, 2025
Scores seven in win
Green logged seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block over 14 minutes during Saturday's 122-110 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green came off the bench and delivered his usual production, scoring seven points for the third time in six games this season. The wing has logged 20 minutes just once so far but continues to make an impact when called upon, recording at least one steal in five of six appearances to open the year.
Oct 27, 2025
Drops seven in win
Green put up seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and an assist across 17 minutes in Sunday's 119-113 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
While Detroit's bench did not perform particularly well Sunday, posting only 23 points as a whole, Green was one of the main contributors, alongside Ronald Holland (7) and Isaiah Stewart (9). However, once Caris LeVert (hamstring) returns from injury, Green may be in danger of ceding some minutes.
Oct 14, 2025
Dual-sided contributions Tuesday
Green produced six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
A jack-of-all-trades, Green was able to chip in across the board as he attempts to carve out a consistent role in Detroit. Despite playing seven years in the NBA, Green has yet to find his footing when it comes to regular rotation minutes. While this was somewhat of an intriguing performance, Green is unlikely to be utilized beyond being a depth piece on a team pushing for a top two seed in the Eastern Conference.
Aug 11, 2025
Joins Detroit on one-year deal
Green and the Pistons agreed to a one-year deal Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
Green, who is entering his seventh NBA campaign, split the 2024-25 season between the Pelicans and Cavaliers. He appeared in 68 total regular-season games, posting averages of 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 18.5 minutes. Minutes won't be easy to come by in Detroit, however.
Apr 13, 2025
Starting Sunday
Green is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Pacers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Green will make his 19th start of the season Sunday and his first for the Cavaliers since signing with Cleveland in February. Green has averaged 1.7 points and 2.0 rebounds over 8.9 minutes per game over his last 10 outings, though he should get significant run time in the Cavaliers' regular-season finale.
Apr 11, 2025
Sees 23 minutes in loss
Green closed with three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
This was Green's largest workload since Feb. 13, as the Cavaliers were without several key players Thursday. With the No. 1 seed locked up, the Cavaliers could be considering more maintenance for their rotation with two games remaining in the regular season.
Feb 23, 2025
Officially signs with Cleveland
Green (not injury related) signed a contract with the Cavaliers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green has joined Cleveland after agreeing to a buyout with the Pelicans last week. The veteran averaged 21.8 minutes per game across 50 appearances (18 starts) with New Orleans. However, he'll likely see a reduced role with his new squad as he'll have to compete with Max Strus, Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and De'Andre Hunter for reserve minutes. Green is unlikely to make his Cavaliers debut Sunday against Memphis, and if that's the case, his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Orlando.
Feb 19, 2025
Bought out, intends to join CLE
Greens agreed to a contract buyout with the Pelicans on Wednesday and intends to sign with the Cavaliers after clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green inked a one-year deal with the Pelicans in August of 2024 and appeared in 50 games this season, including 18 starts. He averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 21.8 minutes. Upon clearing waivers -- which he is expected to do -- Green will join Cleveland and likely compete with Isaac Okoro (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter and Jaylon Tyson for minutes off the bench.
Feb 14, 2025
Displays two-way play in start
Green finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green got a starting nod Thursday due to the absence of Zion Williamson (rest), making the most of that extended time on the court by putting forth a two-way showcase that including leading the team in steals and finishing second among Pelicans players in rebounds. Green set a new season high in steals, previously holding a season-best mark of four dimes which he has accomplished twice. He also matched a season high in rebounds, a total he has recorded in five appearances.
Feb 13, 2025
Riding with first unit
Green is starting Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green will slide back in with the starting lineup due to the absence of Zion Williamson (rest). Green hasn't done much with his opportunities as a starter, totaling just 10 points and 10 rebounds over the last two starts dating back to Jan. 31 and Feb. 3.
Feb 5, 2025
Coming off bench against Denver
Green is coming off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Karlo Matkovic will get the nod in New Orleans' starting lineup Wednesday, pushing Green to the second unit. Green has averaged 5.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 19.7 minutes across 28 games off the bench this season.
Feb 3, 2025
Returns Monday
Green checked back into Monday's game against Denver at the start of the second quarter, per the broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Green went back to the locker room with 4:25 remaining in the first quarter, though he was able to return for the start of the second after a brief absence. The 31-year-old forward should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.
Feb 3, 2025
Leaves for locker room Monday
Green (undisclosed) exited to the locker room with 4:25 remaining in the first quarter of Monday's game against Denver, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green checked out of the game and immediately left for the locker room. If the 31-year-old is unable to return, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic could see a bump in minutes the rest of the way.
Feb 1, 2025
Struggles in spot start
Green accumulated six points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-116 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green got the starting nod in this game due to the absence of Zion Williamson (illness), but he struggled badly from the field and could've easily gone scoreless hadn't it been for his efficiency from the charity stripe. Expect Green to return to a bench role once Williamson is ready to return, something that might happen as soon as Monday when the Pelicans take on the Nuggets.
Jan 31, 2025
Starting Friday against Boston
Green is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Celtics on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will slide into New Orleans' starting five Friday due to the absence of Zion Williamson (illness). Across his 15 starts during the regular season, Green has averaged 7.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 26.1 minutes per game.
Jan 20, 2025
Starting Monday
Green is starting in Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With Zion Williamson out with an illness Tuesday, the versatile Green will step into New Orleans' starting lineup for a spell. Green has averaged 7.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.1 minutes over 14 games as a starter this season.
Jan 17, 2025
Coming off bench against Jazz
Green won't start Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green is reverting to New Orleans' second unit after starting Wednesday's game against Dallas for the resting Zion Williamson. Over his past five games (two starts), Green is averaging 8.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 25.9 minutes.
Jan 15, 2025
Promoted to first unit
Green is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green will move to the first unit due to the absence of Zion Williamson (rest). The former Radford standout will make his 14th start of the campaign. He's averaging 7.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game when deployed with the first unit.
Jan 15, 2025
Huge defensive effort off bench
Green chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 119-113 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
The six combined steals and blocks were a season high for Green, and they represented something of a revenge game for the 31-year-old forward -- his best prior defensive performance came when he snagged seven steals for the Bulls in the final game of the 2021-22 regular season. Green has bounced in and out of the starting lineup for the injury-plagued Pelicans, but with the frontcourt getting healthier, he's settling back onto the second unit. Over 16 appearances (three starts) since the beginning of December, Green has averaged 5.4 points, 3.3 boards, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 assists in 17.9 minutes a contest.
Jan 12, 2025
Back to bench
Green won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
With Trey Murphy (ankle) and Zion Williamson (suspension) back in action, Green and Jordan Hawkins will shift to the bench. As a reserve this season (21 games), Green has averaged 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.3 minutes per game. Green should continue to see consistent minutes as long as Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) remain sidelined.
Jan 10, 2025
Season-high six assists in start
Green had two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 123-115 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Making his 13th start of the year for the Pelicans, Green didn't make a big impact in the scoring department but registered season highs with seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks Friday. Through his 13 outings as a starter, the versatile 31-year-old wing is averaging 7.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 steals and 0.7 threes in 26.0 minutes. It's unclear if Green or Jordan Hawkins, who also joined New Orleans' first unit against Philadelphia, will stay with the starting group once Zion Williamson (suspension) is eligible to return in Sunday's clash with the defending-champion Celtics, but Green could have some streaming appeal in nine-category fantasy leagues if Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Trey Murphy (ankle) remain unavailable.
Jan 10, 2025
Getting starting nod
Green is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green will replace Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the starting five Friday. Green is averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 assists in 26.3 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances.
Jan 9, 2025
Team-high 29 minutes in rout
Green closed with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
While Green didn't have the most noteworthy performance in Wednesday's blowout loss for the Pelicans, the 29 minutes were his highest since a Nov. 19 loss to Dallas. The versatile 31-year-old's minutes have fluctuated throughout the season, and he's averaging just 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.9 threes in 15.5 minutes across his last eight contests. Since Trey Murphy (ankle), Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Brandon Boston (leg) are all dealing with injuries ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Green could be called upon for additional playing time in that one.
Dec 26, 2024
Available Thursday
Green (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will shake off a questionable tag due to left knee soreness in the first leg of a back-to-back set Thursday. The 31-year-old has appeared in four consecutive outings for New Orleans, during which he has averaged 4.5 points and 3.3 rebounds across 15.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 25, 2024
Dealing with knee soreness
Green is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets due to left knee soreness, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green may sit out the first half of a back-to-back set, which would be his third absence in December. If Green is sidelined, Jamal Cain and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl may be back in the rotation versus Houston.
Dec 15, 2024
Available Sunday
Green (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action after missing two straight games due to an ankle injury. He averaged 24.0 minutes per game across his first 23 appearances this season and should continue to have a large role, as Brandon Ingram (ankle), Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) remain out.
Dec 14, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is in danger of missing his third straight game due to a left ankle sprain. More clarity on his status figures to come closer to game time after he tests things out.
Dec 12, 2024
Won't play against Sacramento
Green (ankle) is out for Thursday's game versus the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to left ankle soreness. Green's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Indiana.
Dec 11, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Green (ankle) is questionable to play Thursday versus Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green is tending to left ankle soreness. His status will be especially worth monitoring with Jordan Hawkins (back) officially ruled out for Thursday's contest.
Dec 8, 2024
Out Sunday
Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green is set to miss his first game of the season due to left ankle soreness, his next chance to play will come Thursday against the Kings. The forward has carved out a significant role with the club due to a litany of injuries, and he has averaged 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 23.4 minutes per game in 24 regular-season appearances.
Dec 8, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Green is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to left ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green is in danger of missing his first game of the season. With the Pelicans shorthanded, Green has carved out a consistent role, averaging 23.4 minutes per game over 24 appearances (12 starts).
Dec 5, 2024
Slides back to bench Thursday
Green will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones both returning to game action against the Suns, Green will operate off the bench. Over his last five outings (all starts), the 31-year-old averaged 6.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 26.2 minutes per contest.
Nov 29, 2024
Quiet in loss Friday
Green posted seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green was a non-factor in the loss, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite starting nine consecutive games, Green has struggled to provide much on the offensive end, instead opting to focus on defensive contributions. However, despite being an impactful defensive player, his efforts don't always translate to tangible numbers. To this point, he is averaging just 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks in 24.3 minutes per game.
Nov 23, 2024
Scores season-high 15 points Friday
Green finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Pelicans in this loss, and this was his best scoring output of the campaign. He's been making the most of the opportunity since being promoted to a starting role six games ago, but his upside is bound to experience a regression as soon as either CJ McCollum (thigh) or Dejounte Murray (hand) return to action, something that could happen as early as Monday against the Pacers.
Nov 13, 2024
In starting lineup
Green will start Wednesday's game versus Oklahoma City, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green starts alongside Brandon Boston, Trey Murphy, Brandon Ingram and Yves Missi on Wednesday. Green posted just three points and two rebounds across 24 minutes in his lone start of the season on Nov. 3.
Nov 12, 2024
Scores eight points
Green recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green is getting some extra reps in the rotation with so many injuries in New Orleans. He matched his season-high mark of three steals Monday, and he's been hot from beyond the arc with a 55.6 percent mark in six November appearances. His overall production has been limited, however, as he's averaging 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in that span.
Nov 7, 2024
Posts season-high 11 points
Green racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With Try Murphy (hamstring and Herbert Jones (shoulder) out, Green has received increased playing time in New Orleans' forward rotation. Green is averaging 5.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 21.6 minutes across nine appearances. The veteran is also displaying impressive efficiency, posting 55.2/41.7/91.7 shooting splits.
Nov 4, 2024
Back to bench
Green isn't starting Monday's game against the Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green drew his first start of the season Sunday against the Hawks, tallying three points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes. The Pelicans will go with a different look Monday, penciling Brandon Boston and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in with the first unit with Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) both ruled out.
Nov 4, 2024
Minimal impact Sunday
Green totaled three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green made his first start of the season Sunday due to the late scratch of Zion Williamson (hamstring), but he was unable to make a significant impact and delivered a minimal output. Green should return to the bench once Williamson is ready to return, something that might happen as soon as Monday against the Trail Blazers in the second half of a back-to-back set. If that's not the case, however, then Green could remain in the first unit given how depleted the Pelicans are in terms of injuries.
Nov 3, 2024
Starting sans Williamson
Green will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
With Zion Williamson (hamstring) a late scratch, Green will make his first start of the season. The veteran has averaged 5.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 20.5 minutes over his first six appearances of the regular season.
Oct 31, 2024
Makes strong defensive impact
Green ended with five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Despite struggling with his outside, Green led New Orleans in blocks Wednesday while coming off the bench. In the 31-year-old forward's first five appearances in 2024-25, he is averaging 5.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 21.0 minutes.
Aug 20, 2024
Joining New Orleans
The Pelicans are signing Green to a one-year contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green joined Chicago late in the campaign in 2023-24 and averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 25.6 minutes across nine appearances, including five starts. The veteran forward will likely compete for depth minutes in the Pelicans' rotation.
Apr 19, 2024
Adds 12 points off bench
Green closed Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game loss to the Heat with 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 17 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green led Chicago's bench with 12 points, but his effort wasn't enough to help his team advance to the opening round of the postseason. He finished the 2023-24 campaign on a high note by putting up 10 or more points in seven of eight appearances over his final month of action.
Apr 17, 2024
Headed to bench Wednesday
Green will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Green started in Chicago's regular-season finale with the Bulls resting some of their main guys, but he'll return to a reserve role Wednesday, so his minutes and value will dip.
Apr 14, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Green (rest) will play Sunday versus New York.
ANALYSIS
Green has been removed from the injury report and is a top candidate to slide into the starting lineup with Ayo Dosunmu (quad) unavailable Sunday. The 30-year-old is averaging 14.7 points and 9.0 rebounds on 62.1 percent shooting across his last three appearances.
Apr 13, 2024
Iffy for Sunday
Green has been deemed questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Knicks for rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls may opt to rest Green ahead of their play-in game. His status Sunday will presumably depend on how he is feeling all-around. Dalen Terry and Torrey Craig would be candidates for increased roles providing depth at forward if that is ultimately the case.
Apr 8, 2024
Productive in starting role
Green finished Sunday's 113-98 loss to Orlando with 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green got the start Sunday after impressing off the bench in the win over the Knicks on Friday, and he missed all but one of his shots from the field while ending just two rebounds shy of a double-double. He's likely to return to a bench role in case Alex Caruso (ankle) is able to play against New York on Tuesday, but either way, Green could be a solid waiver pickup given how productive he's been for the Bulls since signing with the team in late March.
Apr 7, 2024
Gets spot start
Green will start at small forward in Sunday's game against the Magic,
ANALYSIS
Green will replace Alex Caruso (ankle) in the starting lineup. The 30-year-old made his season debut on March 27 and will be playing in his fifth game of the season. He has averaged 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.0 triples across 21.0 minutes.
Apr 6, 2024
Shines off bench in win Friday
Green registered 25 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 108-100 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a one-game absence due to personal reasons and played a key role in Chicago's win, leading the team in scoring and providing a huge lift off the bench on both ends of the court. Green has played just four games for Chicago this season, but he should continue to play a prominent role off the bench down the stretch.
Apr 4, 2024
Set to play Friday
Green (personal) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action Friday after missing Chicago's last outing for personal reasons. The veteran forward should continue to serve as one of the Bulls' primary options off the bench in the forward rotation.
Apr 4, 2024
Staying in Chicago
The Bulls signed Green (personal) to a contract for the remainder of 2023-24 on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will remain with the Bulls for the rest of the season after previously signing a 10-day contract. The veteran forward is averaging 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes across his three appearances but missed Chicago's last contest due to personal reasons.
Apr 1, 2024
Out Monday, another 10-day likely
Green (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. Johnson also reports that Green will likely sign another 10-day contract with Chicago in coming days.
ANALYSIS
Green is averaging 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes across three appearances. In his second stint with Chicago, Green's defensive grit and system familiarity are likely factors put in the 30-year-old being on track to be retained down the stretch.
Apr 1, 2024
Added to injury report
Green is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't on the Bulls' initial injury report, but his status for Monday's matchup is up in the air due to a personal matter. Over his three appearances with Chicago this year, he's averaged 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game.
Mar 22, 2024
Inks 10-day deal
Green agreed to a 10-day contract with the Bulls on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will get a chance to prove he belongs at the NBA level following Friday's transaction. He's appeared in 10 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors this season and averaged 12.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 22.2 minutes per contest.
Oct 19, 2023
Let go by Golden State
Green was waived by the Warriors on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Green signed with the Warriors on Monday but will be let go a few days later. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll presumably report to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.
Oct 16, 2023
Finds work in Golden State
Green signed with the Warriors on Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Slater, Green is expected to open the 2023-24 campaign in the G League with Santa Cruz, so he likely signed a training camp deal. However, the 30-year-old forward has plenty of NBA experience and could see extended time with Golden State if veterans Dario Saric and/or Rudy Gay are unavailable.
Apr 4, 2023
Receives green light
Green (knee) will play in Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially probable, so it's no surprise to see him available for Tuesday's tilt. However, Green has found himself on the outside of the Bulls' rotation as of late, having seen game action in three of the team's last eight contests.
Apr 3, 2023
Likely to suit up Tuesday
Green (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green will likely be able to suit up for Chicago once again Tuesday, but he hasn't been part of the team's rotation recently. He's appeared in just three of the Bulls' last eight games.
Apr 2, 2023
Available to play
Green (knee) will be available to play Sunday against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been a negligible part of the rotation since returning from knee surgery, so while he'll be available for Sunday's game, it's unlikely he'll be on the floor enough to make an impact in fantasy hoops.
Apr 1, 2023
Likely to play Sunday
Green (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green remains on the injury report for the Bulls as he recovers from right knee surgery. He has appeared in just three games since the procedure, averaging 5.6 minutes but has yet to score a point. Even if active, Green shouldn't be expected to handle significant minutes.
Mar 31, 2023
Available against Charlotte
Green (knee) is good to go for Friday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday with a knee injury. However, he's unlikely to receive significant playing time.
Mar 30, 2023
Iffy Friday
Green is questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets due to a right knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the lineup Wednesday but only played two minutes while dealing with a lingering knee issue. If he's unable to suit up Friday, his next chance to do so will be Sunday's matchup with Memphis.
Mar 29, 2023
Good to go Wednesday
Green (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous three games with a right knee injury. However, he is unlikely to receive enough minutes to generate serious fantasy consideration.
Mar 28, 2023
Nabs questionable tag Wednesday
Green (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the previous three games and all but two games since the calendar turned to 2023, but his upgrade to questionable is a positive sign. Even if Green gains clearance to play, he'll likely be highly limited off the bench.
Mar 27, 2023
Still out Monday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deal with a right knee injury that will sideline him for a third consecutive matchup. Whether he'll be available Wednesday against the Lakers remains to be seen.
Mar 25, 2023
Out Sunday
Green (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a second straight game as he's dealing with soreness stemming from his right knee surgery. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Clippers.
Mar 24, 2023
Won't play Friday
Green (knee) is out for Friday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from probable all the way to out due to a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.
Mar 24, 2023
Downgraded to questionable
Green (knee) is questionable for Friday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from probable to questionable Friday with a right knee injury. While this is a bad sign for his availability, DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) being ruled out will give Green extended opportunities against the Trail Blazers if he's able to suit up.
Mar 23, 2023
Probable Friday
Green (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been back in action over the last two games after missing nearly three months due to a knee issue, but he had his playing time monitored during the Bulls' pair of matchups against the 76ers. While he'll likely be able to suit up again Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him continue to face a minutes restriction.
Mar 22, 2023
Available, still on minutes limit
Green (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green reportedly "responded well" during his return Monday against the 76ers -- his first action since Dec. 31. He posted just one rebound and one steal in nine minutes, but his knee feeling alright is the primary takeaway. He'll remain on a minutes limit Wednesday, though there are few fantasy implications outside of the deepest leagues.
Mar 21, 2023
Probable for Wednesday
Green (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green saw nine minutes off the bench in his return from a lengthy absence Monday, and he'll likely see a similar workload Wednesday as he's eased back into the rotation. He's safe to leave on the waiver wire in most formats.
Mar 21, 2023
Sees first action since December
Green chipped in one rebound and one steal across nine minutes during Monday's 109-105 double-overtime victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Monday marked Green's return to action after a lengthy injury absence dating all the way back to Dec. 31, when suffered a knee injury in a loss to the Cavs. In all, Green missed 34 consecutive games but looks like he'll have a chance to ramp up and reclaim a regular role off the bench over the final weeks of the regular season. Prior to the injury, Green was averaging 5.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 blocks/steals and 0.8 assists in 16.1 minutes per game (28 appearances).
Mar 20, 2023
Will be available Monday
Green (knee) is available for Monday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green is cleared to suit up for the first time since Dec. 31. It's unclear how many minutes he'll play, but he'll presumably slide into a reserve role behind Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones.
Mar 19, 2023
Questionable Monday
Green (knee) is questionable for Monday's game in Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since January, so even if he's cleared for Monday's game, he'll likely have a strict minutes limit. Check back for another update closer to Monday's tip.
Mar 18, 2023
Out Saturday
Green (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Heat, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Mar 18, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Green (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Miami.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since Jan. 2 after undergoing a procedure on his right knee and recently was called up from the G League after a brief rehab stint. Although it's unclear if he will make his return Saturday, his questionable tag is certainly an encouraging sign. However, expect Green to be under significant restrictions upon his return considering his lengthy absence.
Mar 17, 2023
Not playing Friday
Green (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls earlier on Friday, but he has been ruled out of this game, even if all signs point toward him getting closer to a return. Green hasn't played since Jan. 2, and his next chance to feature will come Saturday against the Heat.
Mar 17, 2023
Recalled by Chicago
Green (knee) was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Green was assigned to the G League on Friday morning but will rejoin the parent club later in the day. However, he remains doubtful for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Mar 17, 2023
Assigned to G League
Green (knee) was assigned to the G League's Windy City Bulls on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Green underwent right knee surgery in early January and is doubtful for Chicago's game against the Timberwolves on Friday, but he should have a chance to rehab with Windy City. Even if Green is officially ruled out for the parent club's game Friday, he appears to be trending toward a return.
Mar 16, 2023
Unlikely to play Friday
Green (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since Jan. 2 after undergoing right knee surgery. However, his return to basketball activities and his doubtful instead of out injury status suggests he will retake the floor soon. If Green is unable to suit up Friday, his next chance to do so will be Saturday's matchup with Miami.
Mar 14, 2023
Progress to non-contract drills
Green (knee) remains out, but head coach Billy Donovan said the forward will have another day of non-contract work Tuesday after he responded well to same drills Monday, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Back-to-back days of basketball activities is a great step forward for Green, who was having trouble cutting just a week ago. The Bulls said March 6 that Green would be re-evaluated again in two weeks, so there should be a more thorough update on his status next week.
Mar 6, 2023
Out for at least two more weeks
Green (knee) doesn't have a timetable for his return and will be evaluated again in two weeks.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since Dec. 31 due to a right knee injury and underwent arthroscopic surgery in mid-January to address the issue. However, he's struggled to make significant progress in his rehab and is still unable to cut. There'll be only two weeks left in the regular season when he's set for another evaluation, so it's certainly possible the defensive-minded forward remains sidelined for the rest of the campaign.
Mar 5, 2023
Still not able to cut
Head coach Billy Donovan said Sunday that Green (knee) has not progressed past straight-line running and continues to experience discomfort when attempting lateral movement, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
This is an extremely discouraging update for Green, who hasn't played since Dec. 31 due to a right knee injury. The reserve forward underwent arthroscopic surgery in mid-January, but he's struggled to maintain many momentum during his rehab process. He's set for another evaluation soon, but it appears like Green may be in danger of missing the rest of the regular season.
Feb 22, 2023
Out at least two more weeks
Green (knee) has begun running but is still a couple of weeks away from doing contact work, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been out since Dec. 31 with a right knee injury and has been behind in his rehab schedule. It appears he will have to wait a few more weeks before being able to return. In the meantime, Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones will continue to see more minutes.
Feb 6, 2023
Still not running
Head coach Billy Donovan said Monday that Green (knee) still isn't running, and it's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Donovan added that Green hasn't suffered any setbacks, but it's obvious that his rehab isn't going as planned. There was hope that Green would be able to start workouts that include running and jumping by now, but Green remains behind schedule and appears on track to sit out through the All-Star break. In Green's prolonged absence, Derrick Jones has carved out a solid role as the primary backup to Patrick Williams.
Jan 26, 2023
At least a week away from running
Green (knee) is at least a week away from workouts that include running and jumping, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. He remains without a timetable for a return.
ANALYSIS
At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if Green was out through the All-Star break. The team is also providing a very open-ended timeline, which isn't encouraging. In Green's absence, Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones should continue to see expanded roles.
Jan 10, 2023
Will be re-evaluated in two weeks
Green underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right knee Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks.
ANALYSIS
Green was already ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, which would've marked his sixth straight absence. However, following the procedure, the forward will now miss at least another two weeks with his current knee issue. In Green's extended absence, Derrick Jones figures to see an increased role behind Patrick Williams.
Jan 10, 2023
Still out
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a sixth straight game due to a knee injury. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Thunder.

Jan 8, 2023
Iffy for Monday's contest
Green (knee) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed four straight games due to a knee injury and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth. If he remains out, Derrick Jones figures to continue operating as Chicago's top forward behind DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Williams.
Jan 7, 2023
Won't play against Utah
Green (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his fourth straight game Saturday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to right knee soreness. While his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Boston, coach Billy Donovan said Friday that the 29-year-old forward will miss another week of action.
Jan 7, 2023
Officially questionable Saturday
Green (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Coach Billy Donovan indicated Friday that Green will be sidelined for at least the next week, so it's a bit puzzling that the team officially listed him as questionable just a day later. It's best to consider Green a heavy lean toward sitting, given Donovan's previous comments, but it's worth keeping tabs on his status.
Jan 6, 2023
Out at least a week
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers and will miss at least another week, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is unavailable for a third consecutive game Friday, and he'll be sidelined for at least three additional matchups to give his sore right knee time to heal. Derrick Jones should continue to see increased playing time for Chicago in Green's absence.
Jan 5, 2023
Questionable Friday
Green (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the last two games due to a knee injury but will be in the mix to return against the 76ers. If he's unavailable once again, Derrick Jones should continue to serve as the primary backup behind Patrick Williams.
Jan 3, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a second straight game due to a knee injury that flared up following Saturday's one-point loss to Cleveland. In his absence, Derrick Jones is expected to operate as the primary backup behind Patrick Williams.
Jan 2, 2023
Won't play Monday
Green (knee) won't play Monday against the Cavaliers, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as questionable due to right knee soreness, which flared up after Saturday's one-point loss to Cleveland. In his absence, Derrick Jones figures to operate as the primary backup behind Patrick Williams.
Jan 1, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Green has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green logged 16 minutes off the bench Saturday against Cleveland and finished with 12 points, three rebounds and two blocks. It's unclear how much the knee injury might limit him, but in case he ends up being available, he's expected to play off the bench, as it has been the case in all but one of his 28 outings this season.
Dec 31, 2022
Playing Saturday
Green (knee) will take the court for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green is active after being tagged as probable for the contest. Since returning from a five-game absence with knee soreness he has averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 assists across 15.0 minutes per game.
Dec 31, 2022
Probable again Saturday
Green (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green has appeared in the last two games, and it appears as though he'll be able to play through his sore left knee once again Saturday. He's averaged 2.5 points in 15.0 minutes per game over his last two appearances.
Dec 30, 2022
Active as expected
Green (knee) will play in Friday's tilt against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green was listed as probable, so his availability Friday was to be expected. He returned from a five-game absence Wednesday and recorded five points across 17 minutes and should see a similar role Friday.
Dec 29, 2022
Probable vs. Pistons
Green (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green returned following a five-game absence Wednesday and played 17 minutes in the win over the Bucks, where he posted five points, two rebounds, one assist and one block. He should be fine again for Friday.
Dec 28, 2022
Available for limited minutes
Green (knee) will be good to go for limited minutes Wednesday versus the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since Dec. 16 by right knee soreness, so it's not a big surprise that his minutes will be held in check in his first game back. It's unclear how limited he will be, but he figures to log fewer than the 16.2 minutes per contest he's averaging on the season.
Dec 27, 2022
Iffy for Wednesday's contest
Green (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed five straight games due to right knee soreness, but he'll have a chance to suit up Wednesday. If he's available, he'll likely reclaim a reserve role behind DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Williams.
Dec 26, 2022
Won't play Monday
Green (knee) is out Monday against Houston.
ANALYSIS
The forward will miss a fifth straight matchup with a lingering right knee injury. Green will presumably be tabbed questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Dec 26, 2022
Not playing Monday
Green (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Rockets, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially considered doubtful for Monday's matchup, and while at one point he seemed to be trending in the right direction, ultimately, the Bulls will decide to be cautious with him. His next chance to play will come Wednesday at home against the Bucks.
Dec 26, 2022
Upgraded to questionable
Green (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially considered doubtful for Monday's matchup, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of the opening tip. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 5.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game.
Dec 25, 2022
Unlikely to play Monday
Green (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the last four games due to right knee soreness and appears to be on track to miss a fifth consecutive matchup. Assuming he's sidelined, his next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday against Milwaukee.
Dec 23, 2022
Still Sidelined
Green (knee) will not take the floor Friday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green will it out a fourth straight game due to ongoing soreness in his right knee. With Derrick Jones (ankle) also out, ample minutes should be available for Patrick Williams while Dalen Terry could crack the rotation. Green's next chance to play will come on Monday against Houston.
Dec 22, 2022
Doubtful Friday
Green (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deal with right knee soreness and will likely be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game Friday. Assuming Green is sidelined, Patrick Williams should continue to see plenty of run in the frontcourt, especially since Derrick Jones (ankle) has also been ruled out.
Dec 21, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Green (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Wednesday's game due to right knee soreness. The 29-year-old forward will miss his third straight game, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Friday's matchup with the Knicks.
Dec 20, 2022
Out Tuesday
Green (knee) is out Tuesday against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a second straight game due to right knee soreness. More minutes should be available for Derrick Jones and Patrick Williams.
Dec 18, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green couldn't recover from the right knee soreness that has been affecting him, which means he'll miss a game for the first time since Dec. 10. His next chance to feature will come Dec. 20 on the road against the Heat.
Dec 18, 2022
Downgraded to questionable
Green (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as probable due to right knee soreness, but he's since been downgraded to questionable, which is never a good sign. If he's sidelined, Derrick Jones figures to be the primary beneficiary.
Dec 17, 2022
Likely to play Sunday
Green is probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green missed three consecutive games in early December due to lingering pain in his right knee. However, he has been able to play in the Bulls' three most recent games and should suit up for Sunday's tilt. Green has averaged 5.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game this season.
Dec 11, 2022
Returns from injury
Green notched two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 14 minutes during Sunday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green saw the floor after missing the last three games (knee) but provided little in his 14 minutes of playing time. His fantasy value is highly dependent on getting more opportunity, but he's only played over 15 minutes once in his last five appearances. In 16.3 minutes per game this season, the 29-year-old is averaging 5.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists.
Dec 11, 2022
Available off bench Sunday
Green (knee) is available off the bench for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green started during his most recent appearance, a loss to the Warriors on Dec. 2. However, after missing the last three games, he'll come off the bench against the Hawks. It wouldn't be surprising to see Patrick Williams retain a starting role.
Dec 11, 2022
Iffy for Sunday's contest
Green (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed three straight games due to right knee soreness, including the first half of Chicago's back-to-back set Saturday. If he remains sidelined Sunday, Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones should continue to be the primary beneficiaries.
Dec 10, 2022
Downgraded to out
Green (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Mavericks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his third straight game Saturday with right knee soreness. Patrick Williams and Derrick Jones should continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Green's next chance to return is Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Dec 9, 2022
Officially questionable Saturday
Green (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Green was unavailable Wednesday against Washington but was a full participant in Friday's practice. Coach Billy Donovan said that he hopes Green will be available against the Mavericks, but the 29-year-old will still carry a questionable designation.
Dec 9, 2022
Returns to practice
Bulls coach Bill Donovan said Green (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness. However, his return to practice is a good sign that he'll be able to return for Saturday's matchup with Dallas.
Dec 7, 2022
Downgraded to out
Green (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from doubtful to out Wednesday due to right knee soreness. Patrick Williams is likely to return to the starting lineup in his absence. Green will have extra time to rest his knee for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Dec 6, 2022
Deemed doubtful for Wednesday
Green (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green will likely miss a second straight game due to a bone bruise, but the issue isn't expected to be serious. In Green's expected absence, Patrick Williams figures to reclaim his starting spot, while Derrick Jones would emerge as a candidate for an increased role off the bench. Green's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Dallas.
Dec 4, 2022
Downgraded to out
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Kings, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green drew the start Friday over a healthy Patrick Williams, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury that'll sideline him for at least one game. In his absence, Williams will be re-inserted into the starting lineup, per K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, but coach Billy Donovan may elect to give Derrick Jones more minutes Sunday as well.
Dec 3, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Green has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green got the start against the Warriors on Friday and finished with 13 points and four rebounds across 23 minutes. However, this injury suggests his availability to face Sacramento is now under question. If he ends up being ruled out, then Patrick Williams could get the nod at power forward.
Dec 2, 2022
Gets start at power forward
Green will start Friday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Billy Donovan has opted to bench Patrick Williams and start Green, which will mark his first start of the season. With Williams sidelined for the majority of last year, Green started 45 of his 65 appearances with the Bulls, so he should be familiar with the role despite not logging a start yet this season.
Dec 1, 2022
Only seven minutes in loss
Green had two points (1-1 FG) in seven minutes during Wednesday's 132-113 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green barely touched the floor in the loss, logging a season-low seven minutes. After a somewhat surprising 2021-22 campaign, Green has fallen by the wayside this season. He is well outside the top 150 in 12-team formats and there is little reason to think anything will change moving forward. At best, he could be viewed as a possible streaming option for anyone desperate for steals.
Nov 25, 2022
Will play Friday
Green (back) is available to play in Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's game. Green has averaged 6.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 17.1 minutes across 18 games this season.
Nov 24, 2022
Picks up probable tag
Green is expected to play in Friday's game versus the Thunder despite a lower back contusion, sporting a probable label.
ANALYSIS
Green is coming off of just his third double-digit scoring effort of the season Wednesday when he posted a solid all-around stat line off the bench to contribute to the Bulls' win over the Bucks. Barring a change for the worse in his status, look for Green to maintain that bench role Friday.
Oct 27, 2022
Efficient scoring in victory
Green posted eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been a solid bench option for the Bulls this season. However, his fantasy value is limited unless you are looking to boost your steals and blocks numbers, as he is averaging 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks through five games this season.
Oct 18, 2022
Opening season in bench role
Green will serve in a bench role Wednesday against the Heat, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was contending for a starting job to open the season but has been beaten out by Patrick Williams. However, he should still play a significant role off the bench Wednesday after practicing in full Tuesday following a hip pointer and could move into a starting role later on if he performs well.
Oct 17, 2022
Practices in full
Green (hip) logged full practices on Saturday and Monday, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a hip pointer injury during last Thursday's practice but has fully recovered in time for the regular season opener aginst the Heat on Wednesday. the 29-year-old should hold a significant bench role for the Bulls this season.
Oct 14, 2022
Misses practice with hip injury
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Friday that Green suffered a hip injury during Thursday's practice that kept him sidelined for Friday's session, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature of the injury is unclear at this time, but Green's availability ahead of next Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat is now in question. The next injury report should provide further details regarding the injury, but at this point it's difficult to say whether Green will be available for the start of the regular season or not.
Oct 9, 2022
Continues hot shooting Sunday
Green amassed 17 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a steal in 16 minutes in a 115-98 win Sunday in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
After starting Friday, Green came off the bench Sunday and did not play until the second half. He was quite productive in the fourth quarter and scored 11 points and grabbed four rebounds in eight minutes. The 29-year-old has been impressive this preseason, going 17-for-22 from the field and 6-for-8 on threes while making 10 of 11 free-throw attempts and grabbing five rebounds in each contest.
Oct 7, 2022
Gets start at power forward
Green will start Friday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green will get the start at power forward over Patrick Williams, who started Tuesday's preseason opener. Green started 45 of 65 appearances last year and posted 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Record-breaking defense in loss
Green had three points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and seven steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 116-100 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green's seven steals set the Bulls' playoff franchise record for most steals in a game. Unfortunately for Green and Chicago, that's where his contributions end. Struggling offensively, the void of Zach LaVine (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) and Alex Caruso (concussion) could not be overcome. On the campaign, Green graded as a positive contributor on both ends of the floor. The 29-year old is on contract with Chicago for next season
Apr 27, 2022
Starting for LaVine
Green is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green is set to make his first start of the postseason after Zach LaVine (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) was ruled out for Game 5 early Wednesday morning. The 28-year-old hasn't seen a lot of playing time so far in the series, but he managed eight points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in his last appearance as a starter on April 10 against the Timberwolves.
Apr 10, 2022
In starting five
Green will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
With several Bulls resting, Green will get the nod on the wing alongside Troy Brown. Green has started well over half of his appearances this season, but he moved to the bench late last month and has functioned as a reserve for the last eight games prior to Sunday.
Apr 6, 2022
Available vs. Celtics
Green (quad) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will play through a right quad bruise. Over the past six games, he's averaged 6.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 14.8 minutes.
Apr 6, 2022
Likely available Wednesday
Green is probable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green played 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to the Bucks and presumably picked up the quad issue as well. However, barring a setback, he'll likely be back in the mix Wednesday.
Mar 30, 2022
Bench role continues Tuesday
Green totaled nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 107-94 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Green played fewer than 16 minutes for the third straight game, continuing what has been a downward trend in both playing time and production. He has scored in double-digits only once in the past month, adding very little in the peripheral categories. As long as the Bulls are relatively healthy, Green is unlikely to be anything more than a deeper league consideration.
Mar 7, 2022
Back in starting lineup
Green will start Monday's game against Philly, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
With Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) sidelined, the Bulls will move Tristan Thompson up to center and re-insert Green at one forward spot alongside DeMar DeRozan. Zach LaVine and Ayo Dosunmu will round out the starting five.
Mar 4, 2022
Coming off bench Friday
Green isn't starting Friday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Green had started in each of his appearances since Nov. 24, but he averaged just 8.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game across his last six outings. Tristan Thompson will draw the start Friday.
Feb 17, 2022
Great shooting in win
Green finished Wednesday's victory over the Kings with 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green shot very well Wednesday missing just one field goal in his 15-point performance. The 28-year-old has been a key role player with the Bulls missing all of Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. Green has now scored in double-figures in 7 of his last 10 games and is averaging 12.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.8 blocks during that span. He will look to keep up this solid production after the All-Star break.
Feb 16, 2022
Good to go Wednesday
Green (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Wednesday, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up for the final game before the All-Star break. The 28-year-old missed one game due to the ankle injury but returned to action Monday against the Spurs and had up seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.
Feb 16, 2022
Upgraded to probable
Green (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup but is trending in the right direction ahead of the game. He was back on the court for Monday's win over the Spurs and logged seven points, nine rebounds, an assist and a steal in 35 minutes.
Feb 15, 2022
Back on injury report
Green is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a one-game absence due to a foot injury Monday and totaled seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes. However, the third-year forward is now dealing with an ankle sprain and is in jeopardy of missing the Bulls' final contest before the All-Star break. If he's unable to suit up, Derrick Jones, Troy Brown and Alfonzo McKinnie would all be candidates for increased roles.
Feb 15, 2022
Grabs nine boards after absence
Green racked up seven points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 120-109 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a one-game absence due to a foot injury and tied his season high with nine rebounds, a mark he's reached three times during the campaign. Over his last 12 appearances (all starts), the third-year forward has averaged 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.8 minutes per game. He'll look to continue his solid play Wednesday against the Kings, which will be the Bulls' final contest before the All-Star break.
Feb 14, 2022
Ready to play Monday
Green (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was considered questionable for Monday's contest after sitting out Saturday with foot soreness, and he's been cleared to take the court for Chicago. The 28-year-old has averaged 13.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 31.2 minutes over his past five appearances.
Feb 13, 2022
Questionable against Spurs
Green (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Coach Billy Donovan said Saturday that Green could need a few more days off to recover from his right foot injury, but the 28-year-old will still carry a questionable designation into Monday's matchup. If he's unavailable, Coby White and Troy Brown should see additional work.
Feb 13, 2022
Could be out until All-Star break
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan suggested after Saturday's 106-101 win over the Thunder that Green could need a few more days off to overcome his right foot injury, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's game after Donovan said the Bulls' starting small forward hurt his foot when he fell to floor in Friday's 134-122 win over the Bulls. While Green sat out Saturday, Troy Brown entered the starting five and finished with zero points (0-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and 11 rebounds. Based on Donovan's comments, Green should be viewed as doubtful heading into Monday's game against the Spurs, and there's a decent chance the 28-year-old misses both of the Bulls' final two contests before the All-Star break.
Feb 12, 2022
Out Saturday
Green (foot) is out Saturday against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green misses his first game since Jan. 23. In his absence, with Zach LaVine (knee) also out, Coby White and Troy Brown are starting.
Feb 12, 2022
Trending in wrong direction
Green (foot) seems unlikely to play Saturday against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports. He "strolled into the United Center still in street clothes and with a slight limp."
ANALYSIS
Official word should come sooner than later, but it would be surprising if Green played. Assuming he's out, more minutes could be available for Alfonzo McKinnie, Troy Brown and Derrick Jones.
Feb 12, 2022
Questionable against Oklahoma City
Green is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green was dominant in Friday's win over Minnesota, as he posted 23 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist in 31 minutes. If he's unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, Malcolm Hill, Alfonzo McKinnie and Troy Brown should see additional playing time.
Feb 7, 2022
Another double figure performance
Green registered 17 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green scored in double figures for the fifth straight contest. During that stretch, he's averaged 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (groin) were both sidelined Sunday, but Green is expected to have a key role in the rotation regardless of the aforementioned players availability.
Feb 5, 2022
Efficient in win
Green tallied 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and zero turnovers across 35 minutes in Friday's 122-115 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green has played in seven games following a 12-game absence and has eclipsed the 30-minute marker in his previous two. It appears he is back to full game-shape and will presumably remain a key memeber of the team's rotation going forward.
Feb 1, 2022
Cleared to play up to 30 minutes
Green (ankle) is available Tuesday against the Magic and will have a 30-minute limit, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will play through left ankle soreness and have his minutes limit increased. Over the past four games, he's averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes.
Jan 31, 2022
Listed as probable for Tuesday
Green (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Green tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers, but he was still able to score 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2FT) while chipping in three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes of action. He didn't practice Monday, but the probable status suggests he will likely be back in the starting lineup Tuesday.
Jan 31, 2022
Doesn't practice Monday
Green didn't practice Monday, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Schaefer reports that Green tweaked his ankle during Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers, but he was still able to score 16 points in just 24 minutes of action. The third-year pro is slowly making his way back following a three-week absence due to a groin injury, so the Bulls will likely be cautious will him moving forward. Coach Billy Donovan said that he'll know more about his status for Tuesday's contest against the Magic either later in the day Monday or after shootaround Tuesday.
Jan 30, 2022
Minute limit to increase Sunday
Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said that Green's playing-time restriction will go up "a few minutes" in Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Chicago has kept Green's workload between 23 and 25 minutes in his first three contests since he returned from a 12-game absence due to a groin strain. While Donovan's comments imply that Green could approach 30 minutes Sunday, his low-usage game means that he won't have much fantasy appeal other than as a streamer for rebounds and defensive stats in deeper leagues.
Jan 24, 2022
Solid yet subdued performance
Green ended with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 111-110 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green returned Monday and was straight back in the starting lineup. It is unclear what his exact role will be once DeMar DeRozan returns to the court, likely in the next game. He will be logging meaningful minutes, that much is certain, but as we saw in this game, that does not automatically make him a viable 12-team option. Until proven otherwise, he should be viewed as more of a deeper league asset.
Jan 24, 2022
Draws last-minute start
Green was a late addition to Monday's starting lineup against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
The team announced Colby White as the starter ahead of Monday's game, but Green ended up starting the game as the team appeared to make a last-minute change. Green is averaging 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last six starts.
Jan 24, 2022
Cleared to play Monday
Green (groin) has been cleared to play Monday against OKC, Jamal Collier of ESPN reports. He'll face a minutes restriction of roughly 20-to-25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since going down with a groin strain on New Year's Eve, so despite the soft minutes restriction this is a major development for the injury-riddled Bulls, who will also get Zach LaVine back Monday. Over Green's last 11 healthy games (all starts), he averaged 6.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 27.4 minutes per contest.
Jan 24, 2022
Bumped up to questionable Monday
The Bulls list Green (groin) as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Chicago could get both Green and shooting guard Zach LaVine (knee) back from multi-game absences for the final contest of its three-game road trip, as both were bumped up to questionable for Monday. Green, who has sat out the past 12 games with a right adductor strain, had been serving as Chicago's starting small forward prior to getting hurt. Though the Bulls may bring Green off the bench Monday if he's cleared to play, the 28-year-old should eventually supplant Tyler Cook in the starting five.
Jan 23, 2022
May play Monday
Coach Billy Donovan said Sunday that Green (groin) will meet the Bulls in Oklahoma City and has a chance to play in Monday's contest against the Thunder, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Donovan initially ruled Green out for the entire three-game road trip, and while he still won't play Sunday in Orlando, he has a chance to play the second half of the back-to-back in Oklahoma City. The versatile wing hasn't played since Dec. 31, so even if he does return, he may be limited.
Jan 22, 2022
Out Sunday
Green (groin) is out Sunday against the Magic, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls listed Green as doubtful despite him not being with the team. The bizarre decision has been cleared up by Johnson reporting that Green will not play.
Jan 22, 2022
Unlikely to play Sunday
Green (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the last 11 games due to a right adductor strain and appears to be in line for another absence Sunday. Once he's ultimately cleared to return, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 28-year-old face a minutes restriction.
Jan 16, 2022
Not ready to play
The Bulls list Green (groin) as out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Billy Donovan said Jan. 3 that Green would likely miss 2-to-4 weeks with a right adductor strain, and though the short end of that recovery timeline has now arrived, the 28-year-old isn't yet ready to play. The Bulls haven't provided much of an updated regarding if Green has even resumed on-court activity, so he'll most likely miss additional time beyond Monday.
Jan 3, 2022
Facing multi-week absence
Coach Billy Donovan said Monday that Green (groin) is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks with right adductor strain, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was already ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Magic after sitting out Saturday's contest, and he's now set to miss at least six additional games. Derrick Jones and Ayo Dosunmu should see additional playing time during his absence.
Jan 2, 2022
Out again Monday
Green (groin) will miss Monday's game against the Magic, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a second straight game due to a groin injury. Expect Derrick Jones to continue to fill in for him in the starting five while he's out.
Jan 1, 2022
Out Saturday
Green (groin) is out Saturday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
As expected, a groin injury will force Green to miss his first game since Dec. 11. Derrick Jones and Troy Brown could see increased minutes as a result.
Jan 1, 2022
Unlikely to play Saturday
Green is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a right adductor strain.
ANALYSIS
Green had started each of the last five games, and he averaged 8.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per contest during that time. If he's ultimately sidelined against Washington, Derrick Jones, Zach LaVine and Troy Brown should see increased run.
Dec 30, 2021
Scores 14 points in win
Green accumulated 14 points (4-5 FG, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Thanks to an efficient shooting performance, Green was able to notch a new season high of 14 points. This was the 28-year-old's fifth game of the season reaching double-figures. However, Green's lack of offensive consistency likely keeps him from providing much value outside of deeper leagues.
Dec 28, 2021
Muted scoring role
Green chipped in two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 130-118 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green posted a season-best 13 points Sunday against the Pacers, but his ability to hit double-digit points is unlikely on any given night. Even with the Bulls shorthanded, Green shouldn't warrant fantasy attention.
Dec 20, 2021
Plays 35 minutes in return
Green closed Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Lakers with nine points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After missing a string of games due to health and safety protocols, Green was one of several Bulls players back in action for Sunday's victory. He started on the wing and finished with his most combined points, rebounds and assists (17) since back on Nov. 8 against Brooklyn (19). Green is a valuable piece in Chicago's rotation, but for the most part he's not much of a fantasy consideration.
Dec 13, 2021
Ramping up after clearing protocols
Green cleared the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Sunday and resumed working out at the team's facility, and he should be ready to play when the Bulls return to action Sunday against the Lakers, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though both Green and Coby White have completed quarantine periods following their positive COVID-19 tests earlier this month, the Bulls remains ravaged by a team-wide coronavirus outbreak. Alize Johnson was the latest player to test positive for the virus Monday, bringing the number of players in the health and safety protocol -- including Green and White -- to 10. Though Chicago would still have the league-minimum eight players available, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Monday that the NBA has opted to postpone the Bulls' next two games -- Tuesday at home against the Pistons and Thursday in Toronto -- in a proactive measure. That means the Bulls won't be back in action until Sunday against the Lakers, which should provide sufficient time for Green and White to ramp up their conditioning after more than a week away from basketball activities. Chicago could also have some of its other eight players in the protocol available by Sunday as well.
Dec 4, 2021
Tests positive for COVID-19
Green, who entered health and safety protocols Friday, has tested positive for COVID-19, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will presumably be out at least 10 days after testing positive. In his absence, Ayo Dosunmu, Derrick Jones, Alize Johnson and Troy Brown could see bigger roles.
Dec 3, 2021
In protocols
Green has entered health and safety protocols and is out Saturday against the Nets, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
With Green sidelined indefinitely, the Bulls will presumably turn to Alex Caruso to man one of the starting lineup spots. However, he's questionable with a hamstring injury. If both players are sidelined, there should be plenty of minutes available for Ayo Dosunmu, Derrick Jones, Alize Johnson and Troy Brown.
Nov 29, 2021
Good to go Monday
Green (wrist) is available and starting Monday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green was considered probable for Monday's contest with a sprained left wrist, so it's no surprise to see him still in the starting five. He's started the past three games and averaged 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes.
Nov 28, 2021
Appears on injury report
The Bulls list Green as probable for Monday's game against the Hornets with a sprained left wrist.
ANALYSIS
The injury is a new one for Green, who battled an ankle sprain earlier this month that ultimately didn't force him to miss any action. The wrist issue doesn't look like it'll keep Green off the court, either, but the Bulls will presumably check back in on his condition following Monday's morning shootaround before clearing him for their matchup with Charlotte. Green has started each of the Bulls' last three games, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes over that stretch.
Nov 24, 2021
Rejoins starting five
Green is starting Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green came off the bench the past six games but will return to the starting lineup Wednesday. He's averaged 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals across his seven previous starts this season.
Nov 24, 2021
Good to go Wednesday
Green (ankle) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will be good to go after the Bulls listed him as probable heading into the day. Green has played off the bench over the last six games, averaging 5.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals in 18.3 minutes over that stretch.
Nov 23, 2021
Probable Wednesday
Green (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's contest at Houston.
ANALYSIS
Green has been nursing a minor ankle sprain over the last few games, but he hasn't missed any time, so he will likely be available Wednesday. The 6-foot-5 wing has been a regular contributor off the Bulls' bench this season, but his production hasn't resulted in consistent fantasy numbers.
Nov 22, 2021
Available Monday
Green (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green was probable for Monday's contest, so it's not a surprise he's suiting up versus Indiana. He could have an expanded role since Alex Caruso (wrist) is unavailable.
Nov 22, 2021
Listed as probable for Monday
Green (ankle) is probable for Monday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been nursing a minor ankle sprain over the last few games, but he hasn't missed any time, so he will likely be available Monday. The 6-foot-5 wing has been a regular contributor off the Bulls' bench this season, but his production hasn't resulted in consistent fantasy numbers.
Nov 21, 2021
Cleared to play
Green (ankle) will be available Sunday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green has been nursing a minor ankle injury over the last few games, but he hasn't missed any time and that trend will continue Sunday. For fantasy purposes, Green hasn't been of much use to managers in season-long leagues, but as a regular contributor off the Bulls' bench he could occasionally be worth a dart throw in DFS contests.
Nov 20, 2021
Probable Sunday
Green (ankle) is probable Sunday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green will likely continue playing through his sprained left ankle. Over the past four games, he's averaged 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 19.5 minutes.
Nov 19, 2021
Will be available Friday
Green (ankle) will be available for Friday's contest with the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green sustained a left ankle sprain Monday, but it doesn't appear to be too serious. He was able to log 20 minutes on the bum ankle Wednesday, and he will likely see a similar workload Friday. On the season, the 6-foot-5 wing is averaging 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds across 19.1 minutes per game.
Nov 18, 2021
Likely to play Friday
Green (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green sustained a left ankle sprain Monday but was able to play through the injury Wednesday, when he logged six points, a rebound and an assist in 20 minutes. It appears as though he's trending toward playing for a second straight game.
Nov 17, 2021
Active Wednesday
Green (ankle) is active for Wednesday's game at Portland, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was considered game-time decision after suffering the injury Monday against the Lakers, but he'll be suiting up for Wednesday's contest. He'll come off the bench and has averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16.4 minutes in that role so far in 2021-22.
Nov 16, 2021
Questionable at Portland
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Green presumably suffered the injury during Monday's matchup with the Lakers, leaving his status in question for Wednesday. The 27-year-old started seven straight contests before moving to the bench for the past two games. Troy Brown and Derrick Jones could see increased minutes should Green be unable to suit up in Portland.
Nov 14, 2021
Moving to bench
Green will come off the bench Sunday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been the regular starter in place of Patrick Williams (wrist), but the Bulls will mix things up coming off of Friday's blowout loss to the Warriors. Alex Caruso will enter the lineup at one guard spot, joining Lonzo Ball in the backcourt. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan will join Tony Bradley -- who's filling in for Nikola Vucevic (COVID-19 protocols) -- up front.
Nov 9, 2021
Impactful in start
Green posted 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists over 29 minutes in a 118-95 win over the Nets on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Green has been filling in for Pat Williams (wrist), who may be sidelined for the entirety of the season. The journeyman isn't much of a scorer, with Monday's 11 points marking his season high. Green has graded as an above average defender, but is more valuable to the Bulls franchise than to fantasy players. He remains off of fantasy radars.
Oct 30, 2021
Starting Saturday
Green will start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With Patrick Williams (wrist) potentially done for the season, Green will get the first chance at being the new starter at forward. In 15.8 minutes per game this season, he's averaging 5.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 blocks.
Oct 5, 2021
Dominates defensively in 17 minutes
Green recorded 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 131-95 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green got the start since Patrick Williams (ankle) is out and could miss some time at the beginning of the regular season. Green was dominant on the defensive end, though that's not too shocking considering he averaged 2.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per 36 minutes last season. Still, racking up four blocks and two steals in limited minutes is highly encouraging. However, he's currently on a two-way deal, so he may not be a consistent part of the Bulls' rotation during the regular season.
Aug 6, 2021
Back with Chicago on two-way
Green agreed Friday to re-sign with the Bulls on a two-way deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was traded to the Bulls from the Celtics in March of last season. On the year as a whole, he averaged 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game. In signing a two-way deal, Green figures to see plenty of time in the G League.
Apr 26, 2021
Absent Monday
Green (coach's decision) didn't appear in Monday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
This was Green's second straight absence after playing in two consecutive games last Wednesday and Thursday. Across 31 games played this season with Boston and Chicago, Green is averaging 3.5 points and 1.9 rebounds.
Apr 8, 2021
Doesn't appear in Thursday's win
Green (coach's decision) didn't play during Thursday's win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
This was Green's fourth absence over the past five games, as the guard only appeared during the Bulls' blowout loss to Indiana last Tuesday. The Radford product is currently averaging 3.8 points and 2.1 rebounds across 28 outings this season.
Mar 26, 2021
Available vs. Spurs
Green (recently traded) will be available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dealt to the Bulls on Thursday, Green will suit up Saturday. That said, he's not a guarantee to crack the rotation.
Mar 25, 2021
Dealt to Bulls
Green was traded from the Celtics to the Bulls as part of a three-team trade involving Moritz Wagner and Daniel Theis, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't see much playing time for the Celtics over the first half of the season, and he'll now attempt to earn some minutes with Chicago. The 27-year-old averaged 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds across 13.8 minutes per game with the Celtics this year and is unlikely to see significant run for his new team.
Mar 2, 2021
Moves back to bench
Green will come off the bench Tuesday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old had eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in a spot start Sunday, but Jaylen Brown (knee) will return to action Tuesday. Green typically sees inconsistent playing time off the bench for Boston.
Feb 28, 2021
Starting Sunday
Green is starting Sunday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green will join the starting lineup for the second time this season with Jaylen Brown (knee) unavailable. He played 24 minutes in his spot start against Atlanta on Feb. 17 but has failed to make a significant fantasy impact this year.
Feb 18, 2021
Quiet night in spot start
Green scored nine points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding three rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Making his first start of the season, and only the third of his NBA career, with Kemba Walker (rest) in street clothes, Green played more than 20 minutes for the first time since Jan. 20 but mostly took a back seat to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the Celtics' offense. Expect the second-year guard to return to the bench for Friday's rematch with Atlanta.
Feb 17, 2021
Set to start Wednesday
Green will start Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Celtics play-by-play man Sean Grande reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kemba Walker resting on the second night of a back-to-back, Green will move into the starting five for the first time this season. Brad Stevens will roll with a rather unconventional starting five, with Jaylen Brown serving as the de facto point guard, Green at shooting guard, Jayson Tatum at small forward, Semi Ojeleye at power forward and Tristan Thompson at center.
Feb 16, 2021
Logs 15 minutes of action Tuesday
Green had five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal during Tuesday's win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
The guard appeared in his fourth straight matchup and fared well off the bench in 15 minutes of action. The former Radford standout is averaging 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds over his past four outings.
Jan 16, 2021
Gets 21 minutes in blowout
Green (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) played 21 minutes off the bench in Friday's 124-97 win over the Magic, finishing with 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist.
ANALYSIS
Green entered the NBA's health and safety protocols last weekend, but he didn't end up missing any games after the Celtics had three consecutive contests postponed before the team returned to action Friday. The blowout nature of the game likely inflated Green's playing time in his return, but he should still have the opportunity to see a slight uptick in minutes until Jayson Tatum is cleared to rejoin the team following his recent positive COVID-19 test.
Jan 15, 2021
Cleared Friday
Green (COVID-19 protocols) is available Friday against the Magic, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The Celtics will play their first game since Jan. 8 due to postponements, and Green has cleared the required protocols to play. He should see a role in the rotation with a myriad of backcourt options still ruled out.
Jan 14, 2021
Could play Friday
Green (COVID-19) is considered questionable for Friday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially expected to be out until Saturday, but it looks as though he'll have a chance to return to action Friday, provided he can pass through the league's health and safety protocols. The Celtics have not played in nearly a week, as their last three games have been postponed.
Jan 13, 2021
Likely out until Saturday
Green (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is expected to remain out through Friday's game against the Magic, though he could be eligible to rejoin the Celtics as soon as Saturday, Tom Westerholm of Boston.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green entered the NBA's health and safety protocol last Friday, when he was deemed to be a close contact of Jayson Tatum, who tested positive for COVID-19. At this stage, no reports have surfaced indicating that Green has tested positive himself, so the expectation is that he'll be cleared to return to the team once he completes the seven-day quarantine that has been standard for players ruled out through contact tracing. Since Tatum's positive test, the Celtics have had three consecutive games postponed, so Green won't actually end up missing any action until Friday's contest, assuming it ends up being played. Green is currently in the midst of his second quarantine period of the season, as he previously missed five games from Dec. 30 through Jan. 6 while he was isolated from the team.
Jan 10, 2021
Unavailable Sunday
Green (COVID-19 protocols) won't play Sunday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Boston will be without about half its roster Sunday, but Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Tristian Thompson and multiple other players going through the league's health and safety protocols. It's unclear if Green will also be sidelined for Tuesday's game at Chicago. Marcus Smart, Payton Pritchard, Jeff Teague and Daniel Theis are the regular rotation pieces set to play among the Celtics' eight available players.
Jan 9, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Green is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to health and safety protocols.
ANALYSIS
Green will presumably have to pass his coronavirus test before taking the court Sunday, as there's some contact tracing concerns. Keep an eye on the Celtics' injury report on gameday, as it's extensive.
Jan 4, 2021
Won't return Wednesday
Green (COVID-19) has been ruled out for the remainder of Boston's current road trip, which concludes Wednesday in Miami, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old will remain sidelined for Monday's and Wednesday's contests as he continues to go through the NBA's healthy and safety protocols. Green should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards until he's officially cleared by the team.
Jan 2, 2021
Out 'next couple of games'
Green (Covid-19) will be out for the "next couple of games," Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It seems like Green's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Heat, as the Celtics have a back-to-back against the Pistons on Sunday and Raptors on Monday.
Dec 31, 2020
Out again Friday
Green (Covid-19) is out for Friday's contest against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Health and safety protocols will keep Green out for a second straight game. He has a chance to return Sunday, which is also a game against the Pistons in Detroit.
Dec 30, 2020
Out Wednesday
Green is out Wednesday against the Grizzlies due to health and safety protocols.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear how long Green will be sidelined, but his depth would have been nice with Tristan Thompson (hamstring) ruled out and Jayson Tatum (thumb) questionable.
Dec 23, 2020
Not starting Wednesday
Green is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old started both preseason contests with Kemba Walker (knee) unavailable, but Tristan Thompson will instead receive the start for Boston. Coach Brad Stevens previously indicated he'll rotate the final starting spot in Walker's absence, so Green could move into the starting five in certain matchups.
Dec 15, 2020
Receives starting nod Tuesday
Green will start Tuesday's preseason game at Philadelphia, Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kemba Walker (knee) will be unavailable until mid-January, and Green will receive the first look in the starting lineup for the Celtics. Coach Brad Stevens plans to rotate players in that starting spot, so Green is unlikely to be a lineup fixture barring a breakout early-season performance.
Sep 20, 2020
DNP in Game 3
Green did not see the floor in Saturday's Game 3 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green was cleared to return from a knee injury, but he was not in the rotation as the Celtics bounced back after dropping the first two games of the series. Green had some moments as a bench piece throughout the season, but considering he missed several weeks in the bubble, he's unlikely to play a consistent role for Boston in this series.
Sep 18, 2020
Probable for Game 3
Green (knee) is probable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Heat, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
After being out since Aug. 21 due to a knee injury, it seems like Green will suit up for a crucial Game 3 with the Celtics down 2-0. However, it seems unlikely that he'll play a significant role and can safely be avoided in DFS.
Sep 17, 2020
Out for Game 2
Green (knee) is out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green needs more time to recover from knee surgery. Even once he's cleared, he should see much time.
Sep 17, 2020
Doubtful for Game 2
Green (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's Game 2 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green likely needs more time to recover from right knee surgery. But once he's cleared, he's unlikely to have a significant role.
Sep 15, 2020
Out Game 1
Green (knee) was ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was initially considered doubtful for the first game of the series, so it's not a surprise he won't be suiting up. Even once available, Green is unlikely to fill a consistent role in Boston's rotation.
Sep 14, 2020
Doubtful for Game 1
Green (knee) is not expected to play in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee back on Aug. 25, and he appears to be close to a return to active status. Even if he's cleared to return at some point during the Eastern Conference Finals, though, Green is unlikely to hold a consistent spot in the rotation -- especially with Gordon Hayward (ankle) nearing a return of his own.
Aug 22, 2020
Out for Game 4
Green (knee) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been a non-factor so far in the series, so his absence shouldn't significantly affect coach Brad Stevens' rotation.
Aug 21, 2020
Out for Game 3
Green (knee) won't play in Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been a non-factor so far in the series, so his absence shouldn't significantly affect coach Brad Stevens' rotation.
Aug 21, 2020
Dealing with knee injury
Green is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Sixers with a right knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old played six minutes during the Game 2 victory and apparently picked up the injury. Green is unlikely to factor into the rotation much if available.
Aug 13, 2020
Scores 23 in loss
Green had 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3PT, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds in Thursday's loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
The Celtics rested virtually all of their regulars, which allowed Green to move into the starting five and see a season-high 34 minutes. Expect him to sink back into a much smaller role during the playoffs.
Aug 13, 2020
Starting vs. Wiz
Green will start Thursday's game against Washington, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
With Boston resting a number of regulars, Green will have a chance to move into the lineup and see extended minutes in the final seeding game. Thus far in Orlando, Green has totaled just 19 minutes in three appearances.
Mar 4, 2020
Probable with sprained ankle
Green is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sprained right ankle, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green saw 21 minutes during Tuesday's overtime loss to the Nets. His presence may be needed again Wednesday, as Jaylen Brown (hamstring), Gordon Hayward (knee) and Kemba Walker (knee) are all sidelined.
Feb 14, 2020
Three straight DNP designations
Green did not play during Tuesday's 141-133 loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green has not seen the floor in Boston's three straight games, and the last time he saw action, he posted one point and three boards in four minutes off the bench against the Hawks on Feb. 7. His playing time has been extremely inconsistent, but fantasy owners shouldn't count on Green to log decent minutes unless there's a rash of injuries in Boston's backcourt moving forward.
Feb 3, 2020
Draws first career start
Green is starting Monday against the Hawks, the voice of the Boston Celtics, Sean Grande, reports.
ANALYSIS
With both Kemba Walker (knee) and Marcus Smart (thigh) sidelined for Monday's tilt, Green will enter the starting five. He's averaging five points and 2.2 rebounds in his last five contests off the bench.
Jan 29, 2020
Not on injury report
Green is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Tuesday's game with a sore left knee, but he'll be back to availability off the bench Thursday night. Green has picked up some minutes of late amid injuries to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but he's not a fantasy consideration in most formats.
Jan 28, 2020
Out Tuesday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Miami, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss Tuesday's clash with left knee soreness. Brad Wanamaker could receive a few extra minutes in Green's absence.
Jan 27, 2020
Added to injury report
Green (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green apparently emerged from Sunday's loss to the Pelicans with a sore left knee, leaving his status up in the air for Tuesday's clash in Miami. Look for his availability to clear up following the team's morning shootaround. Over his last three appearances, Green is averaging 6.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 21.0 minutes.
