Green will be waived by the 76ers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 76ers acquired several frontcourt players when trading James Harden to the Clippers on Tuesday, and Green will be let go to create room on the roster. The 36-year-old had a minimal role for Philadelphia early in the season, averaging just 9.0 minutes per game over two appearances.
Green agreed to a one-year deal with the 76ers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Green will begin his second stint with the 76ers after playing in 131 regular-season games with the club between the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns before tearing the ACL and LCL in his left knee in Game 6 of Philadelphia's Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the Heat in May 2022. The 36-year-old was medically cleared last February but made just 11 appearances between the Grizzlies and Cavaliers, averaging 5.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 11 appearances. Though he's a career 40 percent shooter from three-point range and still offers good size on defense, Green won't enter the upcoming season as a lock to be included in head coach Nick Nurse's rotation.
