Held quiet in return Green (shoulder) tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 111-105 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Green slotted back into a starting role on the wing Thursday after he had missed the Bucks' previous three games while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. After knocking down at least four three-pointers in each of his previous five non-injury-shortened starts, Green didn't see many spot-up opportunities from the perimeter during his time on the court, but both his scoring output and minutes could pick up a bit during the Bucks' upcoming five-game road trip. Milwaukee is expected to remain without Giannis Antetkounmpo (calf) for all of those contests and will need a number of supporting players like Green to increase their production in his absence.

Impact Green sustained a left shoulder contusion in Friday's loss to the 76ers and is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest.

Ruled out Saturday Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Green sustained the left shoulder injury in Friday's loss to the 76ers and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday, though the club has yet to release the results.

Impact Green exited Friday's loss to the 76ers with the shoulder injury, and now he's in danger of missing Saturday's game.

If he's not able to give it a go, Gary Trent, Gary Harris and Amir Coffey would be in line for an uptick in minutes.
