Green announced Thursday that he is retiring, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Green will retire after a 15-year career that included stints with the Spurs, 76ers, Raptors, Lakers, Cavaliers and Grizzlies. He is a three-time NBA champion and made the 2016-17 All-Defensive Second Team. Green's most memorable achievement was drilling a then-record 27 threes during the 2012-13 NBA Finals in the Spurs' win over the Heat.

Danny Green: Parting ways with Philadelphia
Rotowire
Green will be waived by the 76ers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 76ers acquired several frontcourt players when trading James Harden to the Clippers on Tuesday, and Green will be let go to create room on the roster. The 36-year-old had a minimal role for Philadelphia early in the season, averaging just 9.0 minutes per game over two appearances.

76ers' Danny Green: Inks deal with Philadelphia
Rotowire
Green agreed to a one-year deal with the 76ers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Green will begin his second stint with the 76ers after playing in 131 regular-season games with the club between the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns before tearing the ACL and LCL in his left knee in Game 6 of Philadelphia's Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the Heat in May 2022. The 36-year-old was medically cleared last February but made just 11 appearances between the Grizzlies and Cavaliers, averaging 5.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 11 appearances. Though he's a career 40 percent shooter from three-point range and still offers good size on defense, Green won't enter the upcoming season as a lock to be included in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.

Cavaliers' Danny Green: Plays eight minutes in blowout
Rotowire
Green closed Saturday's 114-90 victory over the Pistons with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one steal in eight minutes.
Green saw action for just the fourth time since arriving in Cleveland, logging eight minutes as the game descended into garbage time. At this point in his career, Green is nothing more than a depth piece for the Cavaliers, providing more value as a locker-room presence as opposed to on-court value. Hence, his days of being fantasy relevant are well behind him.

Cavaliers' Danny Green: Will be available Wednesday
Rotowire
Green (recently signed) will be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Green was traded by Memphis to Houston in a three-team deal at the deadline, but he negotiated a buyout with the Rockets and quickly signed a contract with Cleveland. He'll be available to make his Cavaliers debut Wednesday night against the 76ers, who Green played for during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns. It's unclear what the veteran sharpshooter's role will be with his new squad, but he figures to be a valuable bench piece behind the likes of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Isaac Okoro.

Cavaliers' Danny Green: Contract with Cleveland official
Rotowire
The Cavaliers signed Green to a one-year contract Wednesday.
Green had been linked to the Cavaliers over the weekend after he agreed to a buyout with the Rockets, but he first needed to clear waivers before becoming eligible to sign with Cleveland. Now that the deal is official, Green can formally join the Cavaliers, though it's unclear if he'll be an option off the bench Wednesday in Philadelphia since he hasn't yet had the chance to practice with the team. Once he's fully integrated in Cleveland, Green is likely to settle in as a reserve wing, with his arrival potentially resulting in fewer minutes for Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert and/or Cedi Osman.

Cavaliers' Danny Green: Strikes deal with Cleveland
Rotowire
Green agreed Sunday with the Cavaliers on a one-year, $2 million contract and will join Cleveland once he clears waivers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Green was sent to Houston as part of a three-team deal Thursday, but he was able to secure a buyout from the Rockets over the weekend and will now link up with a contending team. The 35-year-old veteran should step into a regular spot on the Cavaliers' second unit, but unless he settles into a consistent 25-plus-minute role, Green likely won't warrant much attention outside of deeper fantasy leagues. Green won't clear waivers before Monday and is thus unlikely to be available for the Cavaliers' game that day against San Antonio, but he could be an option for the final contest prior to the All-Star break Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Danny Green: Reaches buyout with Houston
Rotowire
Green and the Rockets agreed Sunday to a contract buyout, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Green was traded to the Rockets by Memphis on Friday, and despite general manager Rafael Stone hoping to find a fit for the veteran, the two sides have ultimately decided to mutually part ways. Charania relays that Green, who's now a free agent, will sign with a contender soon, while Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers and Suns have all shown interest in acquiring the three-time champion.

Rockets' Danny Green: Unavailable Friday
Rotowire
Green (recently traded) won't play Friday against the Heat, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Green was traded from the Grizzlies to the Rockets on Friday, but he's assessing his fit with his new club prior to joining the team. General manager Rafael Stone hopes Green will be with the team at some point and thinks he'd be a good fit, but it's not yet clear when he could make his debut. If the two sides are unable to agree on a role, the 35-year-old is a candidate to have his contract bought out.

Rockets' Danny Green: Headed to Houston
Rotowire
The Rockets acquired Green, John Wall (abdomen), and a 2023 first-round pick swap Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent Eric Gordon and three second-round picks to the Clippers and Luke Kennard to the Grizzlies, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After spending most of the season recovering from the ACL surgery he underwent last May, Green debuted for the Grizzles on Feb. 1 and averaged 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes across three games. The 35-year-old wing will tentatively slot in as a backup wing for the Rockets, though given the team's status as a non-contender, it wouldn't be surprising if he was bought out of his contract.

Grizzlies' Danny Green: Off injury report
Rotowire
Green (knee) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Green sat out Thursday's loss to the Cavaliers, which was the second night of a back-to-back on the day after he made his season debut. However, he'll be back for his second appearance Sunday. During his debut, he played 10 minutes and posted three points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal.

Grizzlies' Danny Green: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Green has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers due to left knee surgery injury management.
Green will rest for the second half of the back-to-back set after he made his season debut in Wednesday's 122-112 loss to the Trail Blazers to complete a quicker-than-expected recovery from the surgery he underwent last May to repair a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. The 35-year-old performed well during his 10 minutes of court time, recording three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and a steal. So long as the Grizzlies' other key wings are healthy, Green doesn't project to see a major uptick in his playing time moving forward, but his perimeter shooting and wing defense should make him valuable from a real-life perspective as a member of Memphis' second unit.

Grizzlies' Danny Green: Officially available
Rotowire
Green (knee) is available to make his season debut Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
Head coach Taylor Jenkins said just minutes before Green, who's had a lengthy rehab following offseason left knee surgery, was cleared that the veteran guard would get some minutes Wednesday, so Green's availability doesn't come as a surprise. While the North Carolina product will make his season debut, he isn't expected to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy in standard leagues, so he can be safely left on waivers until his role becomes clearer.
