Javonte Green News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Huge defensive effort off bench Green chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 119-113 win over Chi...

Impact The six combined steals and blocks were a season high for Green, and they represented something of a revenge game for the 31-year-old forward -- his best prior defensive performance came when he snagged seven steals for the Bulls in the final game of the 2021-22 regular season. Green has bounced in and out of the starting lineup for the injury-plagued Pelicans, but with the frontcourt getting healthier, he's settling back onto the second unit. Over 16 appearances (three starts) since the beginning of December, Green has averaged 5.4 points, 3.3 boards, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 assists in 17.9 minutes a contest.

Back to bench Green won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Impact With Trey Murphy (ankle) and Zion Williamson (suspension) back in action, Green and Jordan Hawkins will shift to the bench. As a reserve this season (21 games), Green has averaged 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.3 minutes per game. Green should continue to see consistent minutes as long as Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) remain sidelined.

Season-high six assists in start Green had two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 26 minutes during Friday's 123-115 win over the 76ers.

Impact Making his 13th start of the year for the Pelicans, Green didn't make a big impact in the scoring department but registered season highs with seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks Friday. Through his 13 outings as a starter, the versatile 31-year-old wing is averaging 7.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.8 steals and 0.7 threes in 26.0 minutes. It's unclear if Green or Jordan Hawkins, who also joined New Orleans' first unit against Philadelphia, will stay with the starting group once Zion Williamson (suspension) is eligible to return in Sunday's clash with the defending-champion Celtics, but Green could have some streaming appeal in nine-category fantasy leagues if Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Trey Murphy (ankle) remain unavailable.

Getting starting nod Green is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Green will replace Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the starting five Friday. Green is averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 assists in 26.3 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances.

Team-high 29 minutes in rout Green closed with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact While Green didn't have the most noteworthy performance in Wednesday's blowout loss for the Pelicans, the 29 minutes were his highest since a Nov. 19 loss to Dallas. The versatile 31-year-old's minutes have fluctuated throughout the season, and he's averaging just 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.9 threes in 15.5 minutes across his last eight contests. Since Trey Murphy (ankle), Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Brandon Boston (leg) are all dealing with injuries ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Green could be called upon for additional playing time in that one.

Available Thursday Green (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Impact Green will shake off a questionable tag due to left knee soreness in the first leg of a back-to-back set Thursday. The 31-year-old has appeared in four consecutive outings for New Orleans, during which he has averaged 4.5 points and 3.3 rebounds across 15.8 minutes per contest.

Impact Green may sit out the first half of a back-to-back set, which would be his third absence in December. If Green is sidelined, Jamal Cain and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl may be back in the rotation versus Houston.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available Sunday Green (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Green will return to action after missing two straight games due to an ankle injury. He averaged 24.0 minutes per game across his first 23 appearances this season and should continue to have a large role, as Brandon Ingram (ankle), Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) remain out.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Scores eight points Green recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.

Impact Green is getting some extra reps in the rotation with so many injuries in New Orleans. He matched his season-high mark of three steals Monday, and he's been hot from beyond the arc with a 55.6 percent mark in six November appearances. His overall production has been limited, however, as he's averaging 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in that span.

Posts season-high 11 points Green racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact With Try Murphy (hamstring and Herbert Jones (shoulder) out, Green has received increased playing time in New Orleans' forward rotation. Green is averaging 5.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 21.6 minutes across nine appearances. The veteran is also displaying impressive efficiency, posting 55.2/41.7/91.7 shooting splits.

Back to bench Green isn't starting Monday's game against the Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Green drew his first start of the season Sunday against the Hawks, tallying three points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes. The Pelicans will go with a different look Monday, penciling Brandon Boston and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in with the first unit with Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) both ruled out.
