The Radford University product played 48 games (making two starts) and averaged 3.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 9.8 minutes with a .500/.273/.667 shooting line as a rookie. Green suited up for 25 contests in Boston during the 2020-21 campaign before being sent to the Chicago Bulls as part of a three-team trade that saw Luke Kornet land with the Celtics.
He then spent three-plus seasons with the Bulls, before splitting last season between the Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans.
