Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high four steals Monday
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: 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.

Rotowire
Green (Achilles) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors.
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.

Rotowire
Green is available but will come off the bench during Friday's game against Atlanta.

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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Iffy Wednesday vs. Houston
Rotowire
Green (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Rockets.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Remains out Thursday
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Traded to Charlotte
Rotowire
Dallas traded Green to the Hornets as part of a three-team deal Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
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 over 57 regular-season games.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Efficient from deep in Game 5 loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Will start Sunday
Rotowire
Green will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.
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.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Logs 14 minutes in return
Rotowire
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.
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.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Green (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
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.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Ditches walking boot
Rotowire
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.
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.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Green (ankle) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Green sprained his right ankle in Friday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder, but subsequent X-rays came back negative. Still, the Mavericks will err on the side of caution by ruling him out Sunday. Green's 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.
