Josh Green Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries with our National Basketball Association injury report.Jul 29, 2025
May not be ready for camp
Green (shoulder) may not be ready for training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Boone reports that there is "no definitive work on his recovery timetable," to be clear. Green underwent surgery on June 20 to address the instability in his left shoulder, putting his status for Opening Night in jeopardy. In 68 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, Green averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a career-high 1.1 steals per game.
Apr 12, 2025
Won't play in finale
Green (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his sixth consecutive game due to a shoulder injury, and the veteran forward will sit out this regular-season finale since the Hornets don't have anything to play for. This means DaQuan Jeffries, Wendell Moore, Nick Smith and Tidjane Salaun are likely to see expanded roles in the rotation. Green finishes the 2024-25 season with averages of 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.8 minutes per game across 68 appearances (67 starts).
Apr 10, 2025
Ruled out vs. Boston
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a fifth straight game Friday due to a shoulder injury. Charlotte will likely lean on DaQuan Jeffries, Wendell Moore, Nick Smith and Tidjane Salaun in Boston on Friday.
Apr 9, 2025
Another absence coming
Green (shoulder) will not play Wednesday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green will be sidelined for a fourth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Friday against Boston.
Apr 7, 2025
Remaining out for Tuesday
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his third consecutive contest due to a left shoulder injury. There's no clear timetable for the 24-year-old's return to game action, though with only three games remaining after Tuesday, it wouldn't be a surprise if the non-contending Hornets exercise caution with Green. HIs next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Raptors. Josh Okogie and DaQuan Jeffries are candidates for increased roles due to Green being sidelined.
Apr 5, 2025
Still out against Chicago
Green (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his second straight contest Sunday due to a left shoulder injury he suffered against Indiana. DaQuan Jeffries will likely draw another start in his absence. Green's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Memphis.
Apr 3, 2025
Won't play vs. Sacramento
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a shoulder injury during Wednesday's game against the Pacers and won't be ready to return to the floor Friday against Sacramento. In his absence, the Hornets will likely turn to DaQuan Jeffries and Josh Okogie to shoulder the load.
Apr 2, 2025
Won't return Wednesday
Green has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green landed a probable designation ahead of Wednesday's tilt due to pain in his left shoulder, and it seems he aggravated the injury. Green will finish the contest with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across eight minutes. His next chance to play will come Friday against Sacramento. Jusuf Nurkic started the second half in Green's place. Expect Josh Okogie and DaQuan Jeffries to see more minutes as well.
Mar 31, 2025
Good to go against Utah
Green (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will shed a probable designation with a shoulder injury for the second end of Charlotte's back-to-back Monday. The 2020 first-rounder should be able to handle his usual workload in the starting lineup. Over his last seven appearances, Green has averaged 9.3 points, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes.
Mar 31, 2025
Expected back Monday
Green (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green was held out of the first leg of this back-to-back set Sunday, but he's expected to give it a go Monday despite being less than 100 percent. In his last five appearances, Green produced averages of 7.4 points, 1.4 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers.
Mar 29, 2025
Out with shoulder issue
Green will not play Sunday against the Pelicans due to left shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Green which will sideline him for the front leg of this back-to-back set. With the Hornets very thin on the wings, players such as Wendell Moore, KJ Simpson and Nick Smith could be asked to step up.
Mar 24, 2025
Off injury report for Tuesday
Green (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
After missing Sunday's game against Miami with a shoulder injury, Green is set to return to Charlotte's lineup Tuesday. Green has averaged 6.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes over 11 games in the month of March, leaving him with little fantasy appeal outside of triples and swipes.
Mar 23, 2025
Downgraded to out
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as probable but got downgraded to questionable Sunday morning and will officially miss his first game since March 5. In his absence, Wendell Moore, KJ Simpson, Nick Smith and Seth Curry are candidates for increased roles.
Mar 23, 2025
Downgraded to questionable
Green (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as probable due to left shoulder soreness, but his downgrade to questionable puts his availability in jeopardy. Green has missed only one contest since Feb. 10. Nick Smith started that game and scored 11 points in 34 minutes. Smith, Wendell Moore, Seth Curry and KJ Simpson would be candidates for elevated minutes if Green is unable to play Sunday.
Mar 22, 2025
Listed as probable for Sunday
Green is probable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to left shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
The probable tag suggests Green should play and handle his regular workload once he's ultimately deemed available. The Arizona standout has started in all but one of his 64 appearances this season and is averaging 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
Mar 21, 2025
Held to five points
Green notched five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one assist in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 win over New York.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to be a non-factor on the offensive end for Charlotte. Despite playing 26.7 minutes per game over his last eight appearances, Green is averaging 5.4 points on 33.3 percent shooting from the field with 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.
Mar 15, 2025
Season-high 20 points in win
Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.
Mar 13, 2025
Muted performance in loss
Green closed Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Despite a healthy workload, Green wasn't able to make much of an impact on the stat sheet. He's been way too cold from the field to trust in most fantasy formats -- over his last 10 outings, Green has hit 26.9 percent from the field with averages of 4.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
Mar 7, 2025
Back in starting lineup
Green is in Charlotte's starting lineup against Cleveland on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Green will return from a one-game absence Friday due to an illness, and he'll be reinserted into the starting lineup while Nick Smith heads to the bench. Green has averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 28.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break.
Mar 7, 2025
Good to go Friday
Green (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green will shake off a probable tag due to the illness that forced him to miss Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in eight outings since the All-Star break, during which he has averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals across 28.5 minutes per contest.
Mar 6, 2025
Probable for Friday
Green (illness) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves, Green is trending toward getting back on the floor Friday against Cleveland. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 7.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 43.3 percent from the floor and a career-high 40 percent from deep.
Mar 5, 2025
Out vs. Minnesota
Green (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a game for the first time since sitting out two contests between Feb. 7 and Feb. 9 due to a calf injury, as he'll be sidelined for Wednesday's clash due to an illness. DaQuan Jeffries and Seth Curry could see more minutes with Green being out. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Cavaliers.
Mar 2, 2025
Solid all-around performance
Green notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't been the most consistent offensive weapon for the Hornets despite being a regular starter, but he's managed to score in double digits in three of his previous eight contests. Over that span, he's averaging 9.0 points, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.9 rebounds per game. Green isn't expected to be a difference-making player in most fantasy formats, but he could have decent upside as a streaming option in deep formats, particularly in games where the Hornets are shorthanded.
Feb 21, 2025
Pops for season-high 19 in loss
Green closed Thursday's 129-115 loss to Denver with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year forward produced season highs in points and three-pointers, stepping into a bigger offensive role with LaMelo Bell (ankle) unavailable. Green has attempted 12 or more shots in each of the last two games Ball has missed, the only times he's seen that kind of volume since Dec. 13. Green has scored in double digits in seven of his last 11 appearances, averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.8 minutes a contest during that span, while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc. If Ball needs additional time off to manage his ankle -- Charlotte plays another back-to-back set Monday in Sacramento and Tuesday at Golden State -- Green could be a strong DFS value option.
Feb 20, 2025
Logs 34 minutes in win
Green totaled four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 100-97 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green started and played significant minutes Wednesday, but didn't see much of a role on offense. Since Brandon Miller's season-ending injury Jan. 17, the 2020 first-round pick has remained a secondary scoring option, but has seen a slight uptick in production, averaging 9.2 points on 52.4 percent shooting in 13 games.
Feb 10, 2025
Good to go Monday
Green (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green will end a two-game absence with calf tightness and return to the lineup Monday. Over his last seven games, the sharpshooter has averaged 10.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1,0 steals in 31.6 minutes while shooting 50.0 percent from downtown.
Feb 10, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Green (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed two consecutive games for Charlotte, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to make his return to the rotation, DaQuan Jeffries is likely to remain heavily involved for the Hornets.
Feb 8, 2025
Remaining out Sunday
Green (calf) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his second straight contest Sunday due to right calf tightness. DaQuan Jeffries will likely remain in the starting lineup in his absence. Green's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.
Feb 7, 2025
Won't go Friday
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green was originally listed as probable due to right calf tightness, though he has since been downgraded to out. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pistons. Tidjane Salaun and DaQuan Jeffries are candidates for extended playing time in Green's absence.
Feb 7, 2025
Now unlikely to play Friday
Green (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from probable to doubtful Friday due to right calf tightness. If Green is further downgraded to out, Nick Smith, Tidjane Salaun and DaQuan Jeffries are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 6, 2025
Probable for Friday
Green (calf) is probable to play in Friday's matchup with San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green has played in all but three games this season, and he will likely suit up against the Spurs on Friday. On the season, he is averaging 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks over 28.6 minutes.
Jan 31, 2025
Will play Friday
Green (foot) will play in Friday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's game against the Nets with right foot soreness, Green has been expectedly upgraded from probable to available Friday. The 24-year-old has averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.2 threes in 28.7 minutes while shooting 50.0 percent from deep over his last six appearances for the Hornets, and he should see an uptick in usage against Los Angeles with several key contributors out of Charlotte's lineup.
Jan 30, 2025
Expected to play Friday
Green (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to return to action Friday after missing Charlotte's previous contest due to right foot soreness. If the 24-year-old forward is upgraded to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Josh Okogie.
Jan 28, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Green (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Green is set to miss his first game since Oct. 26 due to right foot soreness, and his next opportunity to feature will come Friday against the Clippers. With Cody Martin (abdomen) also on the shelf, Josh Okogie and DaQuan Jeffries could see a bump in playing time. Over his last five outings, Green has averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 28.4 minutes per contest.
Jan 28, 2025
Scores 15 points in loss
Green ended Monday's 112-107 loss to the Lakers with 15 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With LaMelo Ball leaving this game after just nine minutes with an ankle injury, Green is one of a number of players who will need to step up offensively for the Hornets. Green is certainly trending in the right direction, as he's been a top-60 player in nine-category formats over his last three games with 14.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes.
Jan 24, 2025
Decent stat line Friday
Green finished Friday's 102-97 loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of several Hornets role players thrust into an expanded role with so many injures plaguing the team Friday. The 24-year-old sharpshooter put together a decent stat line while attaining his highest scoring output since a Dec. 30 loss to Chicago. Although Green has started in all but one of his appearances for Charlotte this season, he remains strictly a source of triples and swipes from a fantasy perspective.
Jan 16, 2025
Minimal impact in win
Green closed Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Jazz with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has failed to score double-digit points in each of his last five appearances. The 24-year-old forward has also seen his playing time fluctuate greatly over that span, logging as few as 13 minutes and as many as 35. Green's scoring has taken a dip this season, largely due to shooting just 40.8 percent from the field.
Jan 5, 2025
Cleared to play
Green (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Green, Brandon Miller (ankle) and LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) have all been upgraded to available. Green hasn't missed a game since Oct. 26 and has averaged 8.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 32.5 minutes over his last 11 appearances (all starts).
Jan 4, 2025
Probable for Sunday
Green is probable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't missed a game since being out in two of the Hornets' first three games of the campaign, and he's been in the starting lineup in all but one of his appearances. The probable tag suggests that this trend should continue. The five-year veteran is averaging 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game over his last 10 outings.
Dec 31, 2024
Scores 14 points
Green notched 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Monday's 115-108 overtime loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green reached double figures for the second straight game, stepping up for the shorthanded Hornets -- Charlotte was without LaMelo Ball (wrist), Brandon Miller (ankle), Tre Mann (back) and Cody Martin (knee). Green is typically a low-usage defensive specialist, but could be an attractive streaming option until the Hornets get some of their firepower back.
Dec 24, 2024
Another quiet showing
Green totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Despite a solid workload, Green had a quiet night on the stat sheet. That's been the case for most of December, as well. Over his last nine games, Green has seen 30.9 minutes per night with averages of 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.
Dec 17, 2024
Season-high four steals Monday
Green logged 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one block and four steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 121-108 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year wing has begun making a consistent impact with his defense. While Monday's four pilfers were a season high, Green has recorded multiple steals in five of the last eight games, averaging 10.3 points, 2.8 boards, 1.9 steals, 1.8 threes and 1.6 assists over that stretch.
Dec 7, 2024
Fills stat sheet Saturday
Green supplied 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 116-102 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of two starters who eclipsed the 15-point mark in this game, with Brandon Miller being the other. With the Hornets so depleted, Green is likely to experience an uptick in offensive touches going forward. He's scored at least 15 points in three of his last five outings.
Dec 1, 2024
Another strong showing from deep
Green posted 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green scored in double figures for a second straight night and found success from beyond the arc. He's been hot from downtown in back-to-back appearances, drilling seven of 14 attempts. Green continues to show flashes of turning into a dangerous scoring threat but hasn't bee able to piece together long stretches of production, as he's been held to single-digit scoring games in nine of 16 November matchups.
Nov 28, 2024
Poor production despite start
Green ended Wednesday's 98-94 loss to the Heat with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to start for the Hornets, although his production tells another story. To this point, he has scored double-digits only five times, with a season-high total of just 15 points, coming in back-to-back games earlier in the month. He should continue to play meaningful minutes but as we have seen throughout his career, meaningful production is unlikely to follow.
Nov 18, 2024
Posts solid scoring production
Green finished Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green put up 15 points for a second straight game with the help of a stellar shooting performance. He's drilled five triples on six attempts over this stretch. It remains to be seen whether Green can remain a reliable scoring option considering he averaged 4.6 points in his first nine appearances of the season prior to this recent hot spell.
Nov 7, 2024
Muted impact in win
Green finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green failed to score during Wednesday's win and has tallied double-digit points just once this season. Despite the 24-year-old forward starting, Cody Martin logged more minutes (28) off the bench. Green is averaging 6.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22.3 minutes on 41.9 percent shooting from the field across six appearances this season.
Nov 2, 2024
Offers little in starting role
Green registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Green was a non-factor in the loss, producing very little in terms of tangible numbers despite starting and playing 23 minutes. While he is a solid enough defensive presence, his efforts do not translate to meaningful value. He should continue to feature in the rotation but nights like this are going to come more often than not.
Oct 30, 2024
Set for first start of season
Green is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Green will look to build upon the 18 minutes of action he logged Friday against Atlanta. He starts alongside a defensively porous backcourt of LaMelo Ball and Seth Curry.
Oct 29, 2024
Good to go against Toronto
Green (Achilles) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action Wednesday after sitting out the second night of a back-to-back for injury management. With Brandon Miller (hip) out, Green should be one of Charlotte's primary forward options off the bench.
Oct 26, 2024
Won't play Saturday
Green is out for Saturday's game versus the Heat due to left Achilles injury management.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to action Friday after missing time with an Achilles injury, but the Hornets will play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday. With Cody Martin (core) questionable and Brandon Miller (hip) out, Tidjane Salaun could be in store for extended minutes. Green should be able to return to Wednesday's matchup with Toronto.
Oct 25, 2024
Will play off bench Friday
Green is available but will come off the bench during Friday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Green is cleared to make his regular-season debut after missing the opener due to Achilles soreness. However, Cody Martin will remain in the starting lineup at small forward, while Seth Curry replaces Brandon Miller, who's expected to miss at least a week.
Oct 25, 2024
Good to go Friday
Green (Achilles) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks,Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was deemed questionable prior to the game, but he will give it a go and make his Hornets debut while dealing with Achilles soreness. The 23-year-old is coming off a solid playoff run with Dallas last season, and he is expected to start ahead of Cody Martin at the small forward position. If Green is held to a minutes restriction, expect the club to take an extended look at both Martin and Seth Curry.
Oct 24, 2024
Iffy against Atlanta
Green (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green was also deemed questionable before being ruled out Wednesday due to left Achilles soreness. If Green is unable to suit up Friday, Cody Martin will likely draw another start.
Oct 23, 2024
Out Wednesday
Green (Achilles) has enrolled out for Wednesday's season opener versus Houston, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's Achilles soreness will prevent him from debuting with Charlotte, and his next opportunity comes Friday versus Atlanta. Friday marks the front end of a back-to-back for the Hornets, however, which is especially notable since Green's Achilles could be managed cautiously.
Oct 22, 2024
Iffy Wednesday vs. Houston
Green (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since Oct. 10 against Memphis due to Achilles soreness. The 23-year-old played a significant role off the bench for Dallas last season, and he will likely step into the starting lineup for the Hornets in the 2024-25 campaign. If Green is unable to go Wednesday, Cody Martin and Tidjane Salaun are both candidates to pick up extra minutes.
Oct 17, 2024
Remains out Thursday
Green (rest) didn't play in Thursday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The Hornets have yet to indicate that Green is dealing with any kind of injury, though it's concerning that he hasn't seen any game action since Oct. 10 against Memphis. As long as he's healthy, he should be a full go for his squad's regular-season opener Wednesday in Houston.
Oct 15, 2024
Doesn't play Tuesday
Green (rest) didn't play during Tuesday's preseason 111-105 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out Charlotte's previous contest for rest purposes but the team gave no indication that he would sit out again Tuesday or had suffered an injury. Regardless, Green's next chance to suit up will be Thursday's preseason finale against Indiana.
Oct 10, 2024
Resting Thursday
Green won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
The team mentioned leading up to Thursday's exhibition that a few of the regular starters would get the night off, and it's since been announced that Green and LaMelo Ball won't suit up. Cody Martin (wrist) and Tidjane Salaun could be in line for more chances in Green's absence.
Jul 1, 2024
Traded to Charlotte
Green was traded to the Hornets as part of a three-team deal Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
With Klay Thompson joining the Mavericks as part of this deal, Green had to make way and landed in a very good spot for his development. As part of the rebuilding roster in Charlotte, Green could potentially take on a key role on the wings. Last season in Dallas, Green posted averages of 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers.
Jun 18, 2024
Efficient from deep in Game 5 loss
Green notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 22 minutes during Monday's 106-88 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Green produced his best game of the playoffs Monday despite the Mavericks losing Game 5 and the series by a 4-1 deficit. The 23-year-old averaged 5.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 steals across 19.2 minutes in five NBA Finals games. Green's four three-pointers were his most since Feb. 5, and with the 23-year-old under contract with the Mavericks until 2026, he will look to possibly take on a larger role with the team next season as the Mavericks attempt to make it back to the Finals.
Jun 18, 2024
Efficient from deep in Game 5 loss
Green notched 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 22 minutes during Monday's 106-88 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Green produced his best game of the playoffs Monday, despite the Mavericks losing Game 5, and the series by a 4-1 deficit. The 23-year-old averaged 5.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 steals across 19.2 minutes in five NBA Finals games. Green's four three-pointers were his most since Feb. 5, and with the 23-year-old under contract with the Mavericks until 2026, he will look to possibly take on a larger role with the team next season as they attempt to make it back to the Finals.
Apr 21, 2024
Not starting Sunday
Green won't start Sunday's Game 1 against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dallas resting its regulars, Green drew a spot start during the regular-season finale and posted four points, three rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during a loss to Oklahoma City. Across 24 regular-season appearances off the bench, Green averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.4 minutes per game.
Apr 14, 2024
Will start Sunday
Green will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
With most of Dallas' regular starters resting, Josh Green will be joined by Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Dwight Powell in the first unit. As a starter this season (32 games), Green has averaged 9.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per game.
Apr 11, 2024
Logs 14 minutes in return
Green (ankle) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes in Wednesday's 111-92 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green put an end to a 12-game absence Wednesday, appearing for the first time since spraining his right ankle in a March 14 loss to the Thunder. He ended up filling a backup role on the wing and was a plus-7 during his time on the court. Before he exited the March 14 game, Green had averaged 23.3 minutes per contest in his four prior outings since being moved to the second unit in favor of Derrick Jones, so Green could see a modest uptick in playing time as he becomes further removed from the injury.
Apr 10, 2024
Will play Wednesday
Green (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is set to return from a 12-game absence Wednesday night, so he'll likely be operating on some minutes restrictions, making him an unappealing target in fantasy hoops. With Green back in the rotation, Tim Hardaway's minutes could dip a bit.
Apr 10, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Green (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the last 12 games due to a right ankle sprain but appears to be trending in the right direction, as he had been listed as doubtful ahead of recent matchups. Even if he's cleared to suit up Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.
Apr 9, 2024
Officially ruled out
Green (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Geen's absence streak will extend to 12 games Tuesday due to a right ankle sprain. He should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Miami.
Apr 8, 2024
Unlikely to play vs. Charlotte
Green (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green will likely be unavailable for an 11th consecutive matchup due to a sprained right ankle. Whether he'll be able to return before the end of the regular season remains to be seen.
Apr 6, 2024
Still out
Green (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his 10th straight contest Sunday while dealing with a right ankle sprain. There is no timetable for his return.
Apr 5, 2024
Won't play Friday
Green (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green's absence streak will extend to nine games Friday due to a right ankle sprain. The 23-year-old forward's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Houston.
Apr 3, 2024
Out again Thursday
Green (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Thursday will mark Green's eighth straight game on the sidelines, and considering he still hasn't practiced, it seems unlikely he'll play Friday against the Warriors. Derrick Jones, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy will continue to pick up the slack in his absence.
Apr 1, 2024
Absence to continue Tuesday
Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Green being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Tuesday's contest does not indicate that a return is overly imminent. Tuesday will mark his eighth consecutive absence due to a right ankle sprain.
Mar 30, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Green (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since March 14 and remains without a timetable for a return. He should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Mar 28, 2024
Now listed out for Friday
Green won't play Friday against the Kings, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't listed on the Mavericks' initial injury report for Friday's game, but Afseth confirms that was a mistake, as Green continues to rehab from a right ankle sprain. Green hasn't played since March 14. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Houston.
Mar 28, 2024
Not listed in injury report
Green (ankle) is not listed in the injury report ahead of Friday's showdown against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green is trending in the right direction to return to the hardwood, and he should be in line to see some minutes, even if it's off the bench, against the Kings, another potential playoff team in the Western Conference. Green is averaging 5.4 points per game since the beginning of March but hasn't played since March 14.
Mar 26, 2024
Ditches walking boot
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Sunday that Green (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot but hasn't been cleared for on-court activity, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been able to do some conditioning work in the pool since ditching his walking boot, but his sprained right ankle needs to heal a bit more before he can take part in basketball activities. The fourth-year forward is without an official timeline for a return since suffering the injury March 14, but he looks to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this stage of his recovery.
Mar 17, 2024
Dealing with serious ankle sprain
Coach Jason Kidd said Sunday that Green is "likely out a couple of weeks" after suffering a right ankle sprain in Thursday's loss to Oklahoma City, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
ANALYSIS
Green stepped on another player's foot while running to defend in transition Thursday, and the injury appears set to cause a multi-week absence for the 23-year-old. Kidd mentioned that the timetable on Green was a couple weeks, so an injury update could follow in the week to come. Green's status as an undersized wing has made Dallas defensively porous during his time on the court, but he's still an important perimeter body and positive offensive contributor that will be subtracted from the rotation in the short term moving forward.
Mar 16, 2024
Ruled out for Sunday
Green (ankle) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sprained his right ankle in Friday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder, but subsequent X-rays did come back negative. Still, the Mavericks will err on the side of caution by ruling him out Sunday. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday in San Antonio. In the forward's absence, Tim Hardaway could see some extra run in the rotation.
Mar 15, 2024
X-rays negative on ankle
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Thursday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder that X-rays on Green's right ankle returned negative, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green saw just over four minutes of court time before exiting with 4:12 remaining in the first quarter with the injury. Though X-rays cleared him of any structural damage to the ankle, Green is still dealing with a sprain that could be serious enough to cause him to miss time. The Mavericks return to action Sunday versus the Nuggets.
Mar 14, 2024
Will not return due to ankle
Green will not return to Thursday's game versus the Thunder with a right ankle sprain, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports. He finished with two points and one turnover in four minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered the injury with 4:12 remaining in the first quarter, and he looked to be in a lot of pain. He struggled to put weight on his ankle, and he needed help to get back to the locker room. With Green out for the rest of the night, the Mavericks could turn to Jaden Hardy.
Mar 7, 2024
Moves to second unit
Green will move to the bench for Thursday's game against the Heat, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Derrick Jones will replace Green in the starting five. The Mavericks are looking to shake things up after losing three straight games, two of which were blowouts.
Mar 6, 2024
Quiet in loss Tuesday
Green notched six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 137-120 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green produced a sub-par effort in the loss, continuing his recent struggles. He has now scored fewer than eight points in five straight games, sitting well outside the top 250 in that time. Despite having two hands on a starting role, Green is not worth rostering outside of deeper formats.
Feb 27, 2024
Briefly exits against Cleveland
Green returned to Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter after leaving with right elbow pain, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green appears to still be bothered by the right elbow contusion that caused him to be listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's contest. However, the 23-year-old forward left with 7:33 remaining in the third quarter before checking back in less than six minutes of game time later.
Feb 27, 2024
Active Tuesday
Green (elbow) will play Tuesday versus Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Green was dealing with a right elbow contusion, which represented a reassuring diagnosis after a multi-week absence due to a right elbow sprain earlier in the season. The 23-year-old is officially in the clear to suit up Tuesday and is set to join a fully healthy Mavericks' rotation with the exception of Dante Exum (knee).
Feb 26, 2024
Dealing with minor elbow injury
Green is probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right elbow injury, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Townsend, Green "dinged his elbow" during Monday's loss to Indiana, but it appears the issue is minor. He finished that contest with 14 points (6-8 FG), five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes and continues to be a solid starter for a Mavericks squad that snapped a seven-game win streak Monday. Over the last eight games, Green has averaged 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.
Feb 26, 2024
Efficient despite loss to Indy
Green totaled 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 133-111 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks were far from being at their best offensively outside of their star duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and in fact, Green was the only other starter who scored in double digits in this one. That said, Green is far from being a top-notch offensive threat, as evidenced by the fact he has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.
Feb 23, 2024
Making impact on defense
Green notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-113 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward isn't getting many looks on offense, scoring in single digits in three of the last four games, but Smith is still contributing on the defensive end. He's recorded multiple steals four times during the Mavs' current seven-game win streak, averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch and shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (14-for-28) from beyond the arc. While the efficiency is encouraging, his usage figures to remain low as long as both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are healthy.
Feb 6, 2024
Stays hot
Green closed Monday's 118-102 win over the 76ers with 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green is averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 61.8 percent shooting, including 55.6 percent shooting from deep, over his last three games. While that represents an unsustainable hot streak from deep, his production is impressive in the context of Kyrie Irving (thumb) and Derrick Jones (wrist) both returning from respective absences amid that span.
Feb 4, 2024
Strong scoring production
Green logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Green posted his second 20-point game this season, while knocking down at least three triples for the eighth occasion. Dallas was destroyed with Green on the court, however, as his minus-29 net rating was easily a team-worst mark Saturday. Green is knocking down 40.0 percent of 3.5 threes per game this season, but his overall efficiency has regressed slightly and Dallas' defensive rating has been 4.0 points worse with him on the court.
Feb 1, 2024
Nears 20 points as leading scorer
Green totaled 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 121-87 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Green connected on a pair of threes while finishing two points away from the 20-point mark as the top scorer for Dallas in a losing effort. Green, who had to step up offensively with the absence of other key offensive contributors, has recorded 18 or more points in four games this season while connecting on at least two threes in each of those contests.
Jan 27, 2024
Drops season-high 21 in Atlanta
Green had 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 148-143 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward moved into a starting role in early January, and while his scoring totals have been erratic -- he failed to score a point at all in 23 minutes against the Grizzlies on Jan. 9 -- Green's generally been effective on the rare times he gets the ball. Over 10 starts, he's averaging 10.9 points, 4.2 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.6 threes while shooting 55.1 percent from the floor and 47.1 percent (16-for-34) from beyond the arc.
Jan 23, 2024
Scores 14 points in return
Green ended with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Monday's 119-110 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a one-game absence due to illness, scoring double-digits for the third time in the past four games. While his recent production has been encouraging, the Mavericks will likely welcome back Dante Exum (heel) from injury very soon. His return could cut into Green's playing time, meaning those in standard formats should temper their expectations moving forward.
Jan 22, 2024
Gets starting nod
Green is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness, while Tim Hardaway will join the second unit. Both players should get sizable run with Dante Exum (heel) and Seth Curry (ankle) inactive.
Jan 21, 2024
Removed from injury report
Green (illness) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Monday's game against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Green appears to have shaken off his ailment, setting up a return Monday after a one-game absence. He and Tim Hardaway have both spent time in the starting lineup of late, although Dante Exum (heel) could return Monday as well, representing another candidate to fight for a spot in the first unit.
Jan 17, 2024
Out with illness
Green (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Luka Doncic (ankle) remains questionable for Dallas, while Derrick Jones (calf) and Grant Williams (ankle) are expected to play. Green has fared well in January, posting averages of 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 52.9 percent shooting from the field.
Jan 13, 2024
Available to face New Orleans
Green (illness) is available to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was deemed questionable to feature Saturday, but he'll give it a go. He's started in each of Dallas' last five games, averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
Jan 12, 2024
Dealing with illness
Green is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
With Luka Doncic (ankle) sidelined, Green has drawn five straight starts. However, he may take a seat Saturday, which would open up playing time for Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, Markieff Morris and Seth Curry.
Jan 12, 2024
Posts efficient 18 points Thursday
Green chipped in 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 128-124 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in the contest, so the Mavericks needed players to step up in his absence. Green filled that role nicely, hitting eight of 12 field-goal attempts en route to his highest scoring total since the turn of the calendar year. This was a much-needed bounce-back game for the fourth-year forward, as he had recorded just four points on 2-of-6 shooting over 54 minutes across his previous two contests.
Jan 6, 2024
Solid performance in start
Green contributed 14 points (7-8 FG), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 139-103 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green was inserted into the Mavericks' starting lineup Friday with Grant Williams (ankle) sidelined. Green made the most of his opportunity, doing a little bit of everything while connecting on seven of his eight shots. He's now played 20-plus minutes in eight of his last 10 games and has established a role in the Dallas rotation.
Jan 3, 2024
Starting sans Exum
Green will join the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will fill Dante Exum's (heel) spot in the starting lineup for Wednesday's tilt. In five starts this season, Green is averaging 6.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 31.7 minutes.
Dec 31, 2023
Solid shooting from bench
Green contributed 18 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green appeared n the floor quickly to spell Derrick Jones and his hot hand kept him on the floor longer than usual. Finding backcourt support alongside Luke Doncic has been challenging for the Mavericks, but players like Green and Jones will continue to platoon until Kyrie Irving (foot) returns. Green is still coming along slowly after an extended absence, but Saturday's line was an encouraging sign.
Dec 28, 2023
Bags five assists in return
Green (elbow) recorded two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
In his return from a 12-game absence due to right elbow sprain, Green delivered solid returns in the assists and steals categories, but his contributions were lacking elsewhere in the box score. While Green's playing time may have been limited to some degree in his first game since Dec. 1, the 23-year-old won't necessarily see his minutes climb much higher with the likes of Dante Exum and Derrick Jones having seemingly played their way into larger roles in recent weeks. Moreover, Kyrie Irving (heel) will eventually return to the mix, further limiting Green's chances of recapturing meaningful minutes.
Dec 27, 2023
Set to play Wednesday
Green (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action Wednesday after missing the previous 12 games with a right elbow sprain. However, the 23-year-old forward will likely be on a minutes restriction against Minnesota.
Dec 27, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Green (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green was ruled out on Dallas' initial injury report, but he now has a chance to suit up Wednesday, which would end a 12-game absence. However, if he's cleared to play Wednesday, Green presumably would be rested during the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday in Minnesota.
Dec 26, 2023
Will not play Wednesday
Green (elbow) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
This will be the 13th game in a row that Green sits, and he remains without a timetable. Green should be considered doubtful at best for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Dec 24, 2023
Not returning Monday
Green (elbow) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a 12th consecutive game due to a right elbow sprain. Derrick Jones and Dante Exum will likely continue to see extended minutes in Green's absence.
Dec 23, 2023
Out again
Green (elbow) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green has not played since Dec. 1 and remains without a clear timetable to return. Derrick Jones and Dante Exum will likely continue to see extended run in Green's absence.
Dec 21, 2023
Listed as out Friday
Green will miss Friday's game against Houston with a right elbow sprain.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since Dec. 1 and remains without an official timetable. However, Green is due to be re-evaluated in the near future. The Mavericks will continue to rely on Derrick Jones in the meantime.
Dec 19, 2023
Won't return Wednesday
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a right elbow sprain, and he's due to be re-evaluated soon. However, until he returns to practice, the fourth-year wing can be considered questionable, at best, for future contests. Derrick Jones has stepped up in Green's absence.
Dec 5, 2023
Set for multi-week absence
Green is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a sprain in his right elbow, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed his first game of the season Saturday against Oklahoma City, but the 23-year-old now appears set for an extended absence. Although specific details on the type or severity of the sprain have yet to be disclosed, Charania said that Green will be sidelined for "at least the next couple weeks," which could imply a lengthier timeline. A two-week absence would equate to Green missing Dallas' next seven games, although an official medical update will be needed to project a recovery. Derrick Jones is a prime candidate to step up amid a carer-best season, shooting 41.5 percent on 4.3 threes per game.
Dec 5, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Green (elbow) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Green. He wasn't able to practice on Monday, and his status for Friday's game against Portland is in the air. Kyrie Irving (foot) and Tim Hardaway (back) are carrying questionable tags into Wednesday's game, so we could potentially see a lot of Seth Curry against the Jazz.
Dec 4, 2023
Doesn't practice Monday
Green (elbow) failed to practice Monday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out Saturday's loss to the Thunder due to a sprained right elbow. He appears to be at risk of missing a second consecutive game Wednesday against the Jazz. Dallas is banged up heading into Wednesday, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on the team's injury report.
Dec 2, 2023
Ruled out Saturday
Green (elbow) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green likely picked up the injury during Friday's game against the Grizzlies, but he should be considered day-to-day considering since he was carrying a questionable tag before this update. Derrick Jones could see a healthy workload Saturday with the Mavericks very shorthanded.
Dec 2, 2023
Questionable for Saturday
Green is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Thunder due to a right elbow sprain.
ANALYSIS
Green presumably injured his shoulder in Friday's contest and could miss the second leg of Dallas' back-to-back Saturday. If Green is ruled out, Derrick Jones will likely receive increased minutes.
Nov 28, 2023
Joins starting lineup
Green will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks will shake things up after losing three of their last four games, and it will be Derrick Jones who heads to the bench. In three previous starts this season, Green averaged 5.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 three-pointers.
Nov 18, 2023
Heads to bench Saturday
Green will not start Saturday's game against the Bucks, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green heads back to the bench with Kyrie Irving ready to return after a one-game absence. Green is averaging 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game when coming off the bench.
Nov 15, 2023
Gets starting nod
Green is in the starting lineup for for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green will enter the starting lineup in Kyrie Irving's (foot) place. Green is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 30.0 minutes across his previous two starting appearances this season.
Nov 13, 2023
All-around production off bench
Green finished Sunday's 136-124 win over New Orleans with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green scored in double figures and recorded multiple steals for the first time since Nov. 3. The backup wing has garnered an inconsistent role to start the year, averaging just 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.2 minutes across 10 appearances (two starts).
Nov 4, 2023
Solid showing off bench
Green closed Friday's 125-114 loss to the Nuggets with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
The 13 points and three made three-pointers were season highs for the 22-year-old wing, who had started the prior two games while Kyrie Irving dealt with a foot issue. Green is settling into a support role for Luka Doncic, and he's been especially active defensively to begin the season with seven steals in five contests -- an average of 1.4 a night, which would double his rate from 2022-23.
Nov 3, 2023
Coming off bench
Green will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Kyrie Irving is back from his foot injury after missing the past two games. Green still figures to play a key role with the second unit for his versatility on both ends of the floor.
Oct 30, 2023
Draws start
Green will start in place of Kyrie Irving (foot) on Monday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports
ANALYSIS
Green gets the start over Tim Hardaway, but both should be in line for sizable roles with Irving missing his first game of the season. Green averaged 29.0 minutes per game in the Mavericks' first two games.
Oct 25, 2023
Coming off bench in opener
Green won't start Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green was in contention to start at small forward, and it appeared it was trending that way after signing a three-year extension with Dallas earlier this week. However, Derrick Jones will instead draw the starting nod for the season opener. Regardless of his second-unit status, Green should be expected to handle a large workload Wednesday.
Oct 23, 2023
Earns contract extension
Green signed a three-year, $41 million contract extension with the Mavericks on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's role with Dallas has increased over his first three professional seasons, and he'll be rewarded with a hefty extension ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old averaged 9.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game over 60 appearances last year and should have an opportunity to carve out consistent minutes once again this season.
Oct 21, 2023
Scores team-high 22 points
Green notched 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and a block across 24 minutes in Friday's 114-104 preseason win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green got the start at shooting guard since Luka Doncic was rested, and he made his presence felt by leading the Mavs in scoring in this 10-point victory. Green should see consistent minutes off the bench once the regular season begins as a reliable scoring weapon in the second unit.
Oct 20, 2023
Gets the start
Green drew the start for Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green was injured at the beginning of the week, and he ended up missing Tuesday's practice. He was a full participant at Thursday's practice, however, and he looked great during the early stages of Friday's exhibition.
Oct 19, 2023
Returns to practice
Green (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to practice Thursday after missing Tuesday's session with a back injury. His practice participation is a good sign of his availability for Friday's preseason finale against Detroit.
Oct 17, 2023
Dealing with back injury
Green (back) injured his back Monday and missed practice Tuesday, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's back injury sounds minor, and he'll have until Friday's preseason contest against Detroit to heal. The 22-year-old is likely to be healthy come the regular season.
Oct 7, 2023
Gets starting nod
Green is in the starting five for Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota, Alan Horton of Wolves Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will replace Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the starting lineup Saturday. Green recorded six points, three rebounds and three assists in Dallas' preseason opener.
Oct 6, 2023
Contributes in multiple areas
Green totaled six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 preseason loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Green has shown steady improvement over his first three seasons in the NBA, and he averaged 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over 60 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign. He put together a decent stat line off the bench during Thursday's preseason opener and should have an opportunity to see consistent playing time off the bench once again during the regular season.
Apr 8, 2023
Not playing Sunday
Bullock won't play in the season finale Sunday against the Spurs due to rest.
ANALYSIS
Green is one of several Mavericks players that won't play in the season finale with the team out of playoff contention. He spent most of the campaign as a bench option but still logged 21 starts out of 60 appearances. He ends the 2022-23 season averaging 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 25.7 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2023
Resting Friday
Green has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls for rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't missed a game since mid-December but will be one of several Mavericks sitting out Friday, even though the team hasn't been eliminated from the postseason. Tim Hardaway (hamstring) will also be unavailable, so Justin Holiday, Reggie Bullock and Theo Pinson could see some additional minutes.
Apr 6, 2023
Falls short of double-double
Green racked up 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green came within one rebound of registering his first double-double since March 11. He turned in an efficient shooting line by hitting four of five attempts from the field, and he recorded his first block since Feb. 23. Green has scored in double digits in back-to-back contests but is averaging only 5.1 points over his last seven appearances.
Apr 2, 2023
Bounces back vs. Hawks
Green registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Sunday's 132-130 overtime loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Green redeemed himself in Sunday's loss after being held scoreless through 22 minutes Saturday against the Heat. His 13-point showing marks his first time in double figures since March 22, and he made rare contributions on the glass and as a passer after averaging only 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his previous 10 appearances.
Mar 27, 2023
Retreats to bench
Green isn't starting Monday against the Pacers, Grant Afseth of DallasBasketball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green started Sunday against Charlotte and tallied two points and a steal in 14 minutes. However, he'll come off the bench Monday while Tim Hardaway draws the start.
Mar 26, 2023
Will start Sunday
Green will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks will go small, with Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Green, Reggie Bullock and Dwight Powell for the Sunday matinee. Across 20 starts this season, the third-year wing is averaging 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 32.1 minutes per game.
Mar 24, 2023
Moves to bench
Green isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Kyrie Irving will replace Green in the starting lineup Friday. Green will come off the bench for the first time since Feb. 28.
Mar 23, 2023
Drills pair of threes
Green posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green turned in a modest showing in a tightly-contested matchup, putting up double figures in the scoring column for the fifth time in six matchups. While he's unlikely to put together many eye-popping performances with both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving (foot) leading the charge, Green has managed to contribute for his squad across the board during this six-game stretch, as he's averaging 16.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.5 minutes.
Mar 16, 2023
Hits 20 points in third straight
Green finished Wednesday's 137-128 overtime win over the Spurs with 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 45 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has now reached the 20-point mark in three straight games and is also averaging a respectable 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds over that stretch, but the increased production has coincided with both Luka Doncic (thigh) and Kyrie Irving (foot) sitting out all of those contests. The Mavericks' two stars may remain out again in Friday's game in Los Angeles versus the Lakers, in which case Green could make for a strong streaming option. Green's rest-of-season fantasy value is less convincing, however, as he averaged just 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.8 minutes in the first four games of March, when both Doncic and Irving were available.
Mar 14, 2023
Comes through sans two stars
Green posted 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven assists and five rebounds over 27 minutes in Monday's 104-88 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Dallas was down its top three scorers in Luka Doncic (thigh), Kyrie Irving (foot) and Christian Wood (foot), and with Tim Hardaway regressing to the tune of 2-for-10 shooting from the field after a string of hot performances, the door was open for Jaden Hardy (28 points) and Green to fill the void on the offensive end. His performance was an impressive follow-up to the 21-point, 10-rebound effort he delivered in Saturday's loss to Memphis, but unless both Doncic and Irving are sidelined again Wednesday in San Antonio, Green is likely to see a big dip in the 25-plus-percent usage rates he's sported over the past two contests.
Mar 12, 2023
Grabs first double-double
Green racked up 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green had a solid first half overall with six points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds and three assists. He really got going offensively in the second half, however, knocking down six of 10 shots, including three of five attempts from beyond the arc, for another 15 points. The shooting guard added a game and season-high 10 boards in the contest to notch his first double-double of the 2022-23 campaign. It also marked just the fourth time this season in which he's eclipsed the 20-point mark.
Mar 3, 2023
Quiet despite starting role
Green posted five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green moved back into the starting lineup Thursday, replacing Justin Holiday who had inexplicably taken his spot for the past two games. While Green was far from productive, he is clearly a better option for the Mavericks, ending as a +18 during his 32 minutes on the floor. Holiday logged just 11 minutes off the bench, so hopefully, this means Jason Kidd has worked out Green should be rolling with the opening five on a nightly basis.
Feb 26, 2023
Back to bench
Green isn't starting Sunday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had drawn eight straight starts, posting 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench Sunday as Justin Holiday draws his first start as a Maverick. Across 31 appearances as a reserve, Green has averaged 8.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists, so he should still garner a sizable role, though his overall fantasy potential certainly takes a big hit.
Feb 24, 2023
Modest production Thursday
Green supplied 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Despite Dallas being close to full strength, Green remained in the starting lineup during the first game following the All-Star break and was one of eight Mavericks to score in double figures. During his recent string of starts, the third-year guard is averaging 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 34.4 minutes, but he could be pushed back to a reserve role if Tim Hardaway continues to play at a high level off the bench.
Feb 12, 2023
Another solid shooting performance
Green closed Saturday's 133-128 overtime loss to the Kings with 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green continued his efficient scoring Saturday, knocking down four of six shot attempts for 13 points in the first half before going a combined 4-of-6 between the second half and overtime. He finished third on the team in scoring with 23 points while also sinking a game-high five three-pointers as the Mavericks came up just short on the road. Green has now broken the 20-point mark twice in his last four games and has grabbed at least five rebounds three of his last four.
Feb 11, 2023
Shoots with efficiency
Green posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 122-114 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green knocked down 58.3 percent of his field-goal attempts and finished in double figures for a fifth straight contest. He's now started four straight games for the Mavs, though his time with the first unit will likely come to an end once Luka Doncic (heel) returns to action, which could happen as early as Saturday night in Sacramento.
Feb 9, 2023
Moves into supporting role
Green finished Wednesday's 110-104 win over the Clippers with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one rebound and one block in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After popping for a career-high 29 points in 37 minutes in Monday's win over Utah, Green actually saw an increase in playing time Wednesday, but he attempted 10 fewer field goals. He maintained a middling 12.5 percent usage rate on the night, and though he was efficient with his opportunities, Green's main contributions moving forward may come in the steals category rather than on the offensive end. Green sacrificed some shots Wednesday with Kyrie Irving making his Mavericks debut, and touches on the offensive end could be even more difficult to come by for the third-year forward when Luka Doncic (heel) likely returns to action this weekend in Sacramento.
Feb 6, 2023
Career-best performance Monday
Green closed with 29 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 124-111 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green starred in the victory, turning in the best performance of his young career. With both Luka Doncic (heel) and Kyrie Irving (trade) unavailable, Green stepped into the starting lineup and certainly delivered. His minutes had been trending up prior to the trade, giving hope that his role could exceed 30 minutes on a nightly basis moving forward. While he obviously won't be this good once the team is at full strength, he is worth adding in slightly deeper formats. For those in standard leagues, taking a flier on him isn't the worst idea in the world.
Feb 4, 2023
Starting for injured Doncic
Green will start Saturday's game against the Warriors, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
ANALYSIS
Green gets the nod with Luka Doncic (heel) sidelined for the next two games. It will mark just his second start of the season, but in the six games Green has seen 30-plus minutes, he's averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals.
Feb 3, 2023
Puts up 15 points off bench
Green had 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Green has been playing well of late despite coming off the bench on a regular basis, and he has scored in double digits in four of his last seven contests, so he's proving to be a valuable piece off the bench for Dallas. He's averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game in that seven-game stretch.
Jan 30, 2023
Back in bench role
Green will come off the bench Monday night against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Green drew a spot start Saturday against the Jazz with Luka Doncic out of commission, but the Arizona product will head back to his usual bench role Monday evening. He's averaging 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five contests as a reserve.
Jan 28, 2023
Starting Saturday
Green will enter the first unit for Saturday's game in Utah.
ANALYSIS
Green will draw the starting nod with Luka Doncic (ankle) sidelined. In his only other start this season, Green secured four points and five rebounds over 14 minutes. However, Green has averaged 10.8 points and 3.5 rebounds across 30.1 minutes in his last four games and should handle a full workload Saturday.
Jan 25, 2023
Efficient off bench
Green totaled 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green has played at least 20 minutes in each of his four appearances since returning from an elbow injury, and he scored in double figures for the second time in the last three matchups during Tuesday's defeat. His 16 points also matched his second-highest scoring total of the year. Over his last four outings, he's averaged 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game.
Jan 21, 2023
Scores 12 off bench Friday
Green registered 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 115-90 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to a bench role following the return of Tim Hardaway to the starting unit, and he ended up outplaying him with a solid effort off the bench. Green has played just seven games since the start of December and is averaging 8.6 points across 23.3 minutes per game in that span.
Jan 18, 2023
Good to go against Atlanta
Green (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green will rejoin the lineup Wednesday after missing the previous 20 games with a right elbow sprain. His return will likely result in reduced minutes for Reggie Bullock and Tim Hardaway (ankle). However, fantasy managers should expect Green to be on a minutes restriction for his first few games back.
Jan 17, 2023
Likely to return Wednesday
Green (elbow) is expected to return to action Wednesday versus the Hawks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 9, but his return will supply the Mavericks with some much-needed depth rotation. In 25 appearances this season (one start), Green has averaged 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 20.3 minutes per game. There is a chance his workload could be limited initially, given his extended absence, but the fact that it was an upper-body injury means Green should have been able to keep his conditioning in a relatively good spot.
Jan 17, 2023
Questionable Wednesday
Green (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't played since Dec. 9 due to a right elbow sprain but returned to practice Tuesday. If he's unable to suit up Wednesday, his next chance will be Friday's matchup with Miami.
Jan 17, 2023
Practices Tuesday
Head coach Jason Kidd said Green (elbow) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Kidd said Green "did great," but the team will have to wait to see how he responds before clearing him for game action. The third-year guard has missed 20 straight games, so if he's cleared for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta, expect Green to operate under a minutes restriction.
Jan 15, 2023
Remains out
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a 20th straight game Sunday with a right elbow strain. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Atlanta.
Jan 13, 2023
Remains sidelined Friday
Green (elbow) is out for Saturday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his 19th straight game Saturday with a right elbow sprain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's back-to-back with the Trail Blazers, but he is without a definitive return timetable.
Jan 11, 2023
Still out
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green, who hasn't played since Dec. 9, still isn't cleared for full-contact work and will remain out for at least one more game. It's unclear when he'll return, but Dallas appears content on handling his availability game-by-game. Green's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Portland.
Jan 9, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Saturday that Green still hasn't been cleared for full-contact work since spraining his right elbow in the second week of December, so the third-year player seems likely to miss additional action beyond Tuesday. The absences of Green, Finney-Smith (adductor) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) over the past several games has allowed Frank Ntilikina and Davis Bertans to stake claims to rotation spots.
Dec 31, 2022
Not cleared for contact
Green (elbow) is still being limited to just non-contact drills in practice, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been sidelined since Dec 9 with a right elbow sprain and has already been ruled out for Saturday's contest. However, Coach Jason Kidd provided an update on his status, stating Green has been "doing everything non-contact at a high level" but has not been cleared for contact drills. Although the update does not establish a set timetable, it feels as though Green will remain out for the near future.
Dec 30, 2022
Still out Saturday
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green was slated to be re-evaluated Friday, but he'll be forced to miss at least one more game due to his elbow injury. Whether he'll be available Monday against Houston remains to be seen.
Dec 27, 2022
Out until at least Saturday
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Green (elbow) will be reevaluated for his injury on Friday, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will also miss Thursday's contests, extending his absence streak to 11 games due to a right elbow sprain. His next chance to return after his evaluation is Saturday's matchup with the Spurs.
Dec 26, 2022
Set to miss 10th straight
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Green is slated to miss a 10th straight game due to an elbow injury. It's unclear when the third-year wing will suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Thursday against Houston.
Dec 24, 2022
Won't play Christmas Day
Green (elbow) is out for Sunday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his ninth straight game due to a right elbow sprain. His next chance to play is Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks, but there is no timetable for his return.
Dec 19, 2022
Likely out for road trip
Green (elbow) said Monday that he doesn't expect to play in the remaining three games of the Mavericks' current four-game road trip, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was already ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, but it appears he'll also be out for Wednesday's rematch against the Timberwolves and Friday's matchup in Houston. He could be sidelined even longer, but it looks like Green's earliest possible return date is next Sunday's home contest against the Lakers.
Dec 18, 2022
Not playing Monday
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green is set to miss a sixth game in a row, but considering he has averaged just 7.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 20.3 minutes per game this season, his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters. His next chance to play will come against Minnesota on Wednesday.
Dec 17, 2022
Out again Saturday
Green (elbow) remains out for Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green will skip his fifth consecutive game as he recovers from a right elbow sprain. His next chance to rejoin the action arrives Monday in the first of two road games versus the Timberwolves.
Dec 15, 2022
Won't play against Portlant
Green (elbow) is out for Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green's absence streak will extend to four games due to a right elbow strain. The third-year forward's next chance to suit up is Saturday's game against Cleveland.
Dec 13, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a third straight game due to an elbow injury. Reggie Bullock and Frank Ntilikina figure to be candidates for increased roles as long as Green remains sidelined.
Dec 13, 2022
Could return Wednesday
Coach Jason Kidd relayed after practice Tuesday that he hopes to have Green (elbow) back in the fold for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was ruled out Monday and expected to miss at least a few more games, but it appears his recovery has accelerated more quickly than expected. He's far from guaranteed to take the floor Wednesday, but the upcoming injury report should provide more details about his status for the game.
Dec 12, 2022
Set to miss more time
Green (elbow), who has been ruled out Monday against the Thunder, will miss at least a few more games, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is unavailable for a second consecutive game Monday, and coach Jason Kidd said before the matchup that the 22-year-old will be re-evaluated in a couple games. It seems safe to rule him out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Friday against the Trail Blazers or Saturday against the Cavaliers.
Dec 11, 2022
Set to miss Monday's game
Green (elbow) will remain out for Monday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive contest while he nurses a right elbow sprain. Frank Ntilikina seemed to benefit the most from Green's absence in Saturday's 144-115 loss to the Bulls, as Ntilikina played a season-high 25 minutes and finished with zero points (0-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one block.
Dec 10, 2022
Out Saturday
Green is out for Saturday's game at Chicago due to a sprained right elbow.
ANALYSIS
Green, Luka Doncic (quadriceps) and Maxi Kleber (foot) are all out, so the Mavericks will be shorthanded for Saturday. More minutes could be in store for various players, including Reggie Bullock, Davis Bertans, Kemba Walker and Jaden Hardy, who was recalled from the G League.
Dec 6, 2022
Scores in double digits
Green racked up 16 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 130-111 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green put together a stellar shooting line, missing just one attempt from the field while also recording five assists for his second straight matchup. The Arizona product has also showcased his quick hands in the early going of December, collecting five steals over three games.
Nov 29, 2022
Closes in narrow win Tuesday
Green totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Green closed the game Tuesday, making a couple of clutch baskets down the stretch. While this shouldn't;t be viewed as anything more than an outlier, it is interesting to see Jason Kidd going with a different lineup despite the closeness of the game. He isn't quite on the radar in standard leagues but given the struggles of Reggie Bullock, Green is definitely a name to watch moving forward.
Nov 21, 2022
Erupts for career-high 23 points
Green amassed 23 points (8-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in 30 minutes during Sunday's 98-97 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green was on fire in the loss, going 6-of-7 from beyond the arc, en route to a career-high 23 points. Unfortunately, he was unable to cap off his night with any meaningful production outside of the points column. While managers will not want to go chasing this performance, he is a player to keep an eye on just in case his role increases at some point.
Nov 16, 2022
Gets starting nod
Green is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green enters the starting lineup with Luka Doncic (rest) out. Green will likely return to his bench role for Friday's matchup with Denver.
Nov 8, 2022
Posts season-high 16 points
Green registered 16 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 96-94 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Everything seems to be trending up for Green, as he logged his second consecutive game with 20-plus minutes, which resulted in only his second double-digit scoring night of the season. He got hot in the second quarter with 10 points and three rebounds during the stanza, keeping Dorian Finney-Smith and Christian Wood off the floor for most of the second period. His uptick in production makes him an intriguing stash candidate for fantasy benches.
Nov 5, 2022
Sleeper appeal building
Green logged seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 111-110 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green was perfect from the field Friday, while scoring six-plus points for the fourth-straight game. Coupled with excellent defense, Green has carved out a sizable role in Dallas' rotation. He's a long-term name to monitor.
Oct 28, 2022
Scores in double figures
Green tallied 10 points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Green has been incredibly efficient this season, albeit in a small sample size. While his 83.3 and 80.0 percent shooting from the field and three, respectively, are impressive, his 15.0 minutes per game keeps him from being a reliable fantasy option as his percentages are likely to regress to the mean.
Oct 14, 2022
Coming off bench
Green will play a reserve role in the Mavericks preseason finale versus the Jazz, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green, fresh off the Mavericks exercising his fourth-year option, will come off the bench in the team's final exhibition contest. He projects to provide depth on the wing for the team this year.
Oct 11, 2022
Fourth-year option exercised
The Mavs exercised Green's fourth-year option for the 2023-24 season Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Green will net $4.77 million due to the transaction and will remain in Dallas for at least another year. The 2020 first-round pick hasn't jumped off the books with his play but has provided a steady presence off the bench the last pair of seasons. He figures to handle a similar role this year after posting 4.8 points and 2.4 boards over 15.5 minutes per game in 2021-22.
Oct 5, 2022
Gets the start Wednesday
Green will start in Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Thunder, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will start with Luka Doncic out due to rest. The third-year forward averaged 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 steals in 15.5 minutes over 67 games last season. Green will look to have an increased role this season and is expected to be the team's backup small forward.
Apr 7, 2022
Aids Detroit tanking effort
Green registered 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green matched his highest scoring output since early January. It was in the best interest of Detroit's draft capital to lose Wednesday's contest, but Green hammered the nail with a solid effort from the second unit. The 21-year-old, second-year guard saw an uptick to 15.5 minutes per game this season.
Mar 11, 2022
Draws start
Green will start at power forward in Friday's tilt against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will replace Dorian Finney-Smith (arm) in the starting lineup. He has averaged just 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 22.7 minutes in two starts this season.
Mar 6, 2022
Bags first career double-double
Green supplied 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes Saturday in the Mavericks' 114-113 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of several players who stepped up in Dallas' comeback win, a game in which the Mavericks played without star point guard Luka Doncic (toe). Though he wasn't a direct replacement in the lineup for Doncic, Green benefited from the superstar's absence from a playing-time perspective, as he had played no more than 17 minutes in any of Dallas' previous four contests. Assuming Doncic's injury proves to be a short-term concern, as expected, Green's role will be downsized during the upcoming week.

Mundane rolle continues
Green supplied three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Green has logged double-digit minutes in 12 consecutive contests, without supplying double-digit scoring in any game over that stretch. He's seen an uptick in playing time in year two, but the Arizona product isn't a meaningful contributor at this stage of his career.
Feb 15, 2022
Starting for Bullock
Green is starting Tuesday's game against the Heat, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is making his first start of the season with Reggie Bullock (hip) out. In the six games that he's seen at least 24 minutes, Green has averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
Feb 7, 2022
Delivers defensive stats Sunday
Green finished with nine points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block in 23 minutes Sunday in the Mavericks' 103-94 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green and Reggie Bullock have been the main beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint since Tim Hardaway suffered a broken foot in a Jan. 25 and underwent what could prove be a season-ending procedure. While Bullock has been by far the better fantasy producer of the two, Green's numbers have been on the rise over the six games since Hardaway exited the lineup. During that stretch, the second-year wing is averaging 7.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest.
Jan 31, 2022
Creates offensively despite loss
Green finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and three assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Green sunk two high-difficulty driving floaters as part of a solid night offensively. The 21-year-old Arizona product has inherited a larger role with Tim Hardaway (foot) a candidate to miss the remainder of the season. Over his past two games, Green has scored 23 points on eight-of-12 shooting.
Jan 21, 2022
Plays 11 minutes off bench
Green closed Thursday's 109-101 loss to the Suns with two points (1-3 FG), one rebound and one assist over 11 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Over his last six games, Green is averaging 3.2 points and 1.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes. He's still operating as the top frontcourt option off the bench, but Tim Hardaway and Reggie Bullock continue to be the only Dallas reserves worthy of fantasy consideration.
Jan 10, 2022
Scores season-high mark Sunday
Green contributed 18 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Sunday's 113-99 victory over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Green has logged at least 20 minutes in five of his last eight games, but he has embraced a bigger role -- and better numbers -- in his last two appearances, clearing the 15-point mark in both contests. While he's not likely to continue producing at this rate going forward, he might a decent streaming alternative considering Kristaps Porzingis (COVID-19) remains sidelined.
Jan 7, 2022
Steps up in increased role Friday
Green had 17 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 130-106 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green took advantage of some extra playing time in the blowout victory, scoring a career-high 17 points, while adding nice peripheral numbers. Of course, Green needs the Mavericks to be without a number of players before even sniffing fantasy value but he has played in excess of 25 minutes in four of his past seven games. Those in deeper leagues should just monitor his role moving forward, on the off chance he is able to slide up the rotation thanks to his impressive play of late.
Dec 28, 2021
Dishes 10 dimes Monday
Green chipped in nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 132-117 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a four-game absence to log his most minutes of the season. The second-year forward finished with a surprising 10 assists after failing to exceed two dimes in any of his previous 17 contests. In fact, Green's previous career-best mark was four assists against Cleveland last season. There's no reason to expect this prolific passing performance to be more than an aberration, so it's probably unnecessary to target Green off the waiver wire in fantasy.
Dec 25, 2021
Ruled out Saturday
Green will not be available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The expectation was that Green would be an option off the bench, but he's still battling some conditioning concerns despite clearing the league's health and safety protocols earlier in the day. Green is expected to play Monday at Portland.
Dec 25, 2021
Available Saturday
Green (illness) will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green has apparently cleared the league's health and safety protocol. He will now be availble to provide depth on the wing for the Mavericks.
Dec 19, 2021
Now in protocol
Green was placed in the NBA Covid protocol Sunday morning, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was ruled out already due to an illness but it's now become apparent that he is dealing with COVID-19 after being put into protocols. Green is the second player from the Mavericks to enter, joining Reggie Bullock. The team plays the Timberwolves Sunday night and are hoping everyone else can stay healthy ahead of tip-off.
Dec 18, 2021
Out Sunday
Green is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to an apparent illness.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if Green was actually placed in the league's health and safety protocol or if he's just dealing with a non-COVID illness. The Mavericks had their first player in Reggie Bullock get placed into the NBA's protocol Saturday and it's not a good sign seeing Green and Ntilikina also labeled with sickness. The 21-year-old hasn't seen much action this year, averaging 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game. His minutes will likely be eaten up by Sterling Brown (foot) assuming he plays.
Dec 13, 2021
Logs eight points in victory
Green closed Sunday's 103-84 win over the Thunder with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green has had inconsistent playing time since rejoining the parent club, but he played a season-high 18 minutes in Sunday's victory. Across his last eight appearances, the 21-year-old has averaged 3.0 points in 7.0 minutes per game.
Nov 14, 2021
Recalled by Mavericks
The Mavericks recalled Green on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Green's most recent G League stint lasted one game. Though he recorded 20 points and five assists against the Birmingham Squadron on Saturday, fantasy managers should not expect meaningful value from him during a Nuggets-Mavericks matchup scheduled Monday.
Oct 6, 2021
Starting Wednesday
Green will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green averaged 11.4 minutes in 39 games as a rookie last season, and he's expected to fill a depth role again this season. He'll start Wednesday's exhibition with Dorian Finney-Smith (rest) not suiting up.
May 6, 2021
Scores four off bench
Green added four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and two steals during Thursday's win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The rookie posted four points for a second straight game, as Green has scored in five of his past six outings. Since April 26, Green has totaled 17 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists.
Mar 29, 2021
Records four points Monday
Green recorded four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block during Monday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The rookie is still searching for this first made three since Jan. 29, as Green missed both of his attempts in this one. Over the Mavericks' past five games, Green has totaled 15 points and three rebounds in four appearances.
Mar 6, 2021
Recalled by Mavericks
Green was recalled from the Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Green participated in the four-week G League bubble and started in three of his six appearances with the Stars. During that time, he averaged 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 29.7 minutes per game. He's unlikely to be a significant part of the rotation for the Mavericks going forward.
Feb 18, 2021
Heads to G League bubble
The Mavericks flex-assigned Green to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks' affiliate (Texas Legends) isn't playing at the G League bubble in Orlando, so Green will suit up for the Jazz's affiliate along with fellow Mavericks rookie Tyler Bey. With Dallas' 15-man roster back to full strength after the team was without several players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols in mid-to-late January, Green had seen action in just one of the Mavericks' eight games thus far in February.
Jan 25, 2021
Back to bench
Green isn't starting Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green will head back to the bench with Kristaps Porzingis back in the starting five Monday evening. The Arizona product has yet to put up more than eight points in a game this season.
Jan 20, 2021
Starting Wednesday
Green will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks will opt to go small to start Wednesday, giving Green the third start of his career while having Willie Cauley-Stein come off the bench. In his two previous starts, Green is averaging 2.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 23.5 minutes.
Jan 17, 2021
Rejoins starting five
Green will start Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old will make his second career start with Tim Hardaway (groin) unavailable Sunday. Josh Richardson and Jalen Brunson are also sitting out due to the COVID-19 protocols, so Green and Trey Burke will have increased roles versus Chicago.
Jan 9, 2021
Making first NBA start
Green will make his first NBA start Saturday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Jalen Brunson all out due to health and safety protocols, Green will step into a bigger role. He's played 33 total minutes this season, racking up six points, six rebounds and two assists.
