Green was released by the Nuggets on Thursday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
The former Virginia Tech star played just seven combined minutes through the team's first four games, but Thursday's move comes in response to Denver's need for help in the frontcourt. Jusuf Nurkic, Joffrey Lauvergne and Nikola Jokic are all injured, leaving the Nuggets extremely shorthanded up front, and they'll reportedly add free agent Kostas Papanikolaou in Green's place. The 24-year-old Green could draw some interest from other teams, but his most likely landing spot is the D-League or a foreign league.
