Josh Green News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Scores 12 points off bench Green notched 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Green has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The 25-year-old forward has seen his role slightly increase in February, averaging 18.1 minutes per game after hovering around 15 minutes per contest in December and January. The former Dallas Mavericks wing is producing 6.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 1.0 steal and 0.8 assists this month.

Season-high four steals Green produced 14 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and four steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 victory over Houston.

Impact The four steals were a season high for Green, who still hasn't been consistent enough to warrant much attention in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. Green has averaged 5.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.7 steals in 16.1 minutes per tilt in his last 10 games.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Green (thumb) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact As expected, Green will shake off his probable tag due to a right thumb sprain. The 25-year-old swingman didn't miss a game in January, during which he averaged 3.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes per tilt across 17 outings.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Monday Green is probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact The thumb injury is new for Green, who has been dealing with a left Achilles injury of late, but he will likely be able to play through it Monday. Over his past five appearances, Green is averaging just 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest, and he has failed to score a point in two of his last three games.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Green (Achilles) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Green popped up on Friday's injury report as probable due to left Achilles tendinopathy, but the sixth-year pro has been given the green light to play in Saturday's matinee. He has failed to reach double-digit points in nine of his last 10 outings and has averaged 15.7 minutes per game off the bench over that span, so his availability won't move the needle too much in most fantasy formats.

Probable for Saturday Green is probable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to left Achilles tendinopathy.

Impact Green is dealing with some pain in his left Achilles, but it's not expected to keep him out of Saturday's game. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Green's status.

Chips in 12 points Monday Green provided 12 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 21 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-93 win over Philadelphia.

Impact The 25-year-old wing was one of eight Hornets to score in double digits during the rout. Green continues to fill a small but consistent role in the rotation, but his production has been anything but -- he's topped 10 points only twice in 14 January games, while failing to score a point at all in four of those contests.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 14 minutes Green provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Green wasn't able to find the bottom of the net and remains miles off the fantasy radar in Charlotte. He's played just 16.5 minutes per contest over his last 11 outings and is shooting 37.8 percent from the field in that span.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Logs season-high 25 minutes Green posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 112-99 win over the Bulls.

Impact Green logged a season-high 25 minutes, just the second time he has seen at least 20 minutes since making his season debut on Dec 12. Although he has been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, the production has been far from adequate. Through 11 games, he has averaged just 5.0 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 16.1 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Decent line in loss Green produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Monday's 123-113 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Miles Bridges suffered an ankle injury during this contest and was unable to return, making Green someone to monitor if he misses additional time. Green has eight appearances to his name this season with averages of 5.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 15.4 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as available Green (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Tuesday is the second night of a back-to-back, but that won't stop Green from playing. The sharpshooter has averaged 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 15.4 minutes per contest through five games this year, so his fantasy appeal is minimal at this time.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Tuesday Green (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Tuesday is the second night of a back-to-back, so the Hornets are keeping an eye on Green's calf issue. The sharpshooter has averaged 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 15.4 minutes per contest through five games this season.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high three steals Green ended with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 14 minutes during Saturday's 112-86 loss to Detroit.

Impact Green continues to play a limited role off the bench, having now suited up in four straight games since returning from a shoulder injury. In those four appearances, Green has averaged just 4.5 points and 1.3 steals in 14.4 minutes per contest. He can well and truly be left alone, outside of very deep leagues.

Logs 17 minutes in return Green accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Friday's 129-126 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Green made his return to the court, suiting up for the first time this season. A shoulder injury has kept Green on the sideline, although he appeared untroubled during his time on the floor. While it is good to see him back, the path to minutes is far from clear, especially once the roster is fully healthy. As always, the situation in Charlotte is worth keeping an eye on, given recent history. However, Green is not someone who needs to be prioritized outside of deeper leagues at this stage.

Ready for season debut Green (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Green has been given the green light to make his 2025-26 debut after recovering from a left shoulder issue. He'll presumably be eased back into action, thought the Hornets could use his help with LaMelo Ball (ankle), Tre Mann (knee) and Collin Sexton (quadriceps) all ruled out for Friday's matchup.
