Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Fills stat sheet Saturday
Rotowire
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.
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.
Hornets' Josh Green: Another strong showing from deep
Rotowire
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.
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 been able to piece together long stretches of production, as he's been held to single-digit scoring games in nine of 16 November matchups.

Hornets' Josh Green: Poor production despite start
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Posts solid scoring production
Rotowire
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.
Green put up 15 points for a second straight game with the help of another 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 before this recent hot spell.

Hornets' Josh Green: Muted impact in win
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Offers little in starting role
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Green (Achilles) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks,Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Out Wednesday
Rotowire
Green (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener versus Houston, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Green is managing a sore left Achilles' tendon, which will prevent him from making his Charlotte debut. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks, though with that game representing the front end of a back-to-back set, Green may be a more realistic candidate to play Saturday versus the Heat.

Rotowire

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.

Rotowire
Green (rest) didn't play in Thursday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Pacers.
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.
