Impact Green was likely just used as some additional salary filler in this deal as the Hornets trim their books. Green could carve out a role in Minnesota, but his fantasy appeal is really low. Across 58 regular-season appearances in Charlotte in 2025-26, he averaged 4.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per contest.

Scoreless in season-ending loss Green produced zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Impact Green logged 11 or fewer minutes for a sixth straight game and didn't make much of an impact in his limited run during Charlotte's season-ending loss. The 25-year-old swingman missed the Hornets' first 24 regular-season games after undergoing left shoulder surgery in June and saw his role decline in 2025-26, averaging 4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 15.7 minutes per game across 58 regular-season appearances off the bench. He's under contract for one more season.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Green had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across seven minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Green played no more than seven minutes for the third time in the past four games, having seemingly moved to the fringe of the rotation. Despite a small amount of defensive upside, Green's lack of offensive versatility makes him a non-factor on that end of the floor.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 14 minutes Green provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat.

Impact Green remains miles off the fantasy radar as a very small part of Charlotte's rotation. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging just 17.0 minutes per contest.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Passive again in victory Green ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over Portland.

Impact Green scored no more than six points for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to offer very little in terms of tangible production. Although he can be an impactful player, particularly on the defensive end, his efforts rarely translate into fantasy value. In 42 games thus far, he has averaged just 5.0 points and 1.1 three-pointers in 16.8 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top 300.

Hornets rout Mavericks 117-90 for 5th straight victory and .500 record

MARCH 4 • Associated Press

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.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

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.
