Green Ranger sighting Green had six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Suns.
Impact Green posted a strong rebounding total and hoisted seven threes while receiving an uptick in playing time. Nonetheless, Green has averaged just 19.4 minutes per game since 2022 began. Even taking into account his three-point prowess, Green is far removed from the fantasy radar.

Good to go Green (finger) will play Monday against the Nuggets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Green was upgraded to probable earlier in the day, so this latest update comes as no surprise. He's missed the last two matchups due to a finger laceration. Green is averaging 3.6 points and 1.9 rebounds in his last eight contests, all off the bench.

Bumped up to probable Green (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Denver.
Impact Green was thought to miss at least one more contest with a finger injury, but he's progressed more quickly than expected and should be back in the rotation Monday night. Green remains a valuable floor-spacer for the Sixers, but he's not offering enough overall production to warrant fantasy attention in most leagues.

Likely out at least one week Green is expected to miss at least a week due to a finger laceration, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Impact Green required stitches for the laceration that he sustained in Monday's win over the Bulls, and he'll likely need to sit out multiple games to give his finger the appropriate amount of time to heal. Furkan Korkmaz could end up sliding back into the rotation while Green is out.

Back to bench Green is coming off the bench Thursday against Milwaukee, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Impact Green started each of the last two games for the 76ers but scored just nine points and collected one rebound and two assists over that brief stretch. Philadelphia has elected to go with a bigger starting five Thursday evening, as Matisse Thybulle shifts to shooting guard and Georges Niang enters at small forward.

Underwhelms in start Saturday Green contributed six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-93 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Green was a non-factor in the victory, especially when breaking down his fantasy game. After years of being a 12-team worthy specialist, age appears to have caught up with the veteran. Outside of occasionally popping off on the defensive end or from the perimeter, he typically offers very little in terms of productivity. Only those in deeper formats should consider him as a viable commodity.

Starting Saturday Green will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
Impact Green replaces Furkan Korkmaz in the lineup. Green may continue starting once James Harden is available, but it's not exactly clear how the rotation will shake out.

Scores eight in start Green ended Sunday's 119-108 win over the Bulls with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist and one block in 27 minutes.
Impact With Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) sidelined, Green started for the second time over the past three games. However, regardless of whether or not he's in the starting lineup, the veteran guard has scored in double figures just twice since the beginning of December.

Draws another spot start Green will start Sunday's contest against the Bulls.
Impact With Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) sidelined, Green will draw his second start over the past three games. As a starter this season, the veteran guard is averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.6 minutes per game.

Rejoins starting five Green will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact The veteran guard came off the bench the past three games after missing seven contests due to a hip injury, but he'll return to the lineup Wednesday with Seth Curry (hip) sitting out. Green has averaged 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.6 minutes in 21 starts this season.

Limited in Thursday's return Green (hip) totaled nine points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Thursday's 105-87 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Green was on a firm minutes restriction in his return from a seven-game absence. Given his ongoing struggle with injuries, it makes sense for the medical staff to play things safe with Green moving forward. Even if he ultimately supplants Matisse Thybulle as the starting small forward, Green is unlikely to push for more than 25 minutes in most games.
