Officially signs with Cleveland Green (not injury related) signed a contract with the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Impact As expected, Green has joined Cleveland after agreeing to a buyout with the Pelicans last week. The veteran averaged 21.8 minutes per game across 50 appearances (18 starts) with New Orleans. However, he'll likely see a reduced role with his new squad as he'll have to compete for minutes with Max Strus, Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and De'Andre Hunter for reserve minutes. Green is unlikely to make his Cavaliers debut Sunday against Memphis, and if that's the case, his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Orlando.

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.

Green should continue to see consistent minutes as long as Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) remain sidelined.
