Continues to garner modest role Green posted three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Across seven March contests, Green has averaged just 5.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.6 minutes per game. With the Nuggets close to full strength, fantasy managers in standard leagues can safely leave Green on the waiver wire.

Blocks three shots Green ended Friday's 113-97 victory over the Grizzlies with four points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 25 minutes.

Impact While Green only hit one shot on the night, his activity on both ends was contagious and he had his fingerprints all over this one. He made the most of his opportunity with Vlatko Cancar (right wrist sprain) and may have given coach Michael Malone something to think about.

Goes for 12 points in loss Green closed Saturday's 112-94 loss to Memphis with 12 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes.

Impact The Nuggets had a rough performance on offense Saturday and looked outmatched, but Green was one of the top scoring weapons for Denver despite coming off the bench. He's now scored in double digits in five straight games and is averaging 9.8 points with 2.4 boards across nine February appearances.

Finishes with season-high 24 points Green ended Wednesday's 118-109 win over Dallas with 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.

Impact Green reached double figures in the scoring column for the third game in a row, but Wednesday's performance was much more notable than the 10- and 12-point outings he provided Saturday and Monday. The 24 points were a season high for Green, but the big game came on 68.8 percent shooting from the field and wasn't supported by much production in the peripheral categories. Green can't be counted on to maintain this level of efficiency moving forward, and even if he does manage to do so, he'll be a candidate to see his minutes get cut down once Denver likely gets Jamal Murray (knee) and Aaron Gordon (ribs) back after the All-Star break while also adding Reggie Jackson to the second-unit mix.

Scores seven off bench Green closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Thursday's 115-104 loss to Orlando.

Impact Green logged his second-lowest minutes total of the season Thursday, but he led the Nuggets' bench players in scoring while also grabbing three rebounds for a third consecutive game. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in eight of his 10 appearances since returning to the court in mid-January, and he's averaged 6.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game during that time.

Logs 18 minutes in return Green finished Friday's 134-111 win over Indiana with six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 18 minutes.

Impact Green returned after missing almost a month of action due to a hand injury, ending with six points in 18 minutes. The veteran certainly isn't going to blow anyone away with his production, although he certainly provides the Nuggets with a steadying influence off the bench. His days of being a standard league asset are well behind him, and so while it is good to see him back on the court, there is no reason to make any moves based on this.

Available Friday Green (hand) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Green hasn't played since Dec. 23 due to a hand injury, but he'll return to the mix Friday. Given his lengthy absence, it's unclear how many minutes the veteran forward will be able to play, but with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) out, Denver will presumably have all hands on deck.

Ruled out Green (hand) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact As expected, Green will miss yet another contest with a left hand injury. The 36-year-old hasn't suited up since Dec. 23, which has opened up more opportunities for Vlatko Cancar and Zeke Nnaji in the frontcourt. Green's next chance to play will come Friday against the Pacers.

Grabs doubtful designation Green (hand) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact While Green doesn't look ready to retake the floor Wednesday, his doubtful designation can be viewed as a positive sign of progress toward an eventual return. The veteran is nearing a month on the sidelines and may be drawing closer to his return to the floor.

Still remains out Green (hand) is out for Wednesday's game Thursday's game the Clippers.

Impact Updating a previous report, Green has been re-added to the Nuggets injury report with a left hand fracture and finger sprain. The veteran forward is likely still on his initial injury return timetable of one month from Dec. 23.

Impact Green was expected to miss at least a month from Dec. 23 due to a broken left hand and sprained finger but appears to be available for Thursday's game. However, the veteran forward will likely receive limited minutes in his first few outings back.

Out at least a month Green broke his left hand and sprained a finger during Friday's win over the Trail Blazers and will be re-evaluated in one month, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Green didn't immediately exit the game and briefly played through the injury, but the Nuggets will ensure he properly recovers over the next four weeks. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Zeke Nnaji, Vlatko Cancar and other wings. Green is in the midst of a quality season, averaging 7.5 points on 52.7 percent shooting, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.4 minutes.

Will suit up Friday Green (back) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact As expected, Green will suit up despite being initially listed as probable with low back pain. Over his past seven appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 7.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.4 minutes.
