New Orleans Pelicans forward Javonte Green (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Sacramento. A sore left ankle may keep Green off the court for a second consecutive game. Green has been a big beneficiary of New Orleans' injury troubles this season, starting in 12 contests. However, the Pelicans have started to get everybody back, making Green an afterthought. He's only had 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds as a reserve. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl might receive additional work without Green, although the Pelicans frontcourt will also have Daniel Theis back in the lineup after he sat out three games due to neck spasms.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Javonte Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He was already iffy for the game due to ankle soreness and will sit out his first action of the campaign. Green recently had a good spell as a starter on the New Orleans team, but he's been limited to a bench role in the last couple of games. Herbert Jones is fresh back from injury and should soak in Green's minutes, along with Trey Murphy III and Brandon Boston Jr. All three players also benefit from Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence.
Guard/forward Javonte Green is set to sign a one-year contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources have told NBA insider Shams Charania. After starting out in the G League, Green had an impressive nine-game spell with the Chicago Bulls at the end of last season, averaging 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, a repeat of it in New Orleans appears unlikely, as Green will be limited to a bench role. The 31-year-old has posted 5.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.3 minutes across 195 career games in the National Basketball Association.
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks. There's nothing wrong with him. Instead, head coach Billy Donovan might give him the afternoon off to rest in preparation for Chicago's upcoming Play-In contest. As of this writing, Coby White, Nikola Vucevic, and DeMar DeRozan aren't listed on the injury report after missing Friday's win over Orlando to rest. Yet, they certainly may get held out, meaning the door would be open for Dalen Terry, Jevon Carter, and Adama Sanogo to see a surge in DFS interest for the regular-season finale.
Javonte Green Still A Couple Of Weeks Away From Playing
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) last played on December 31 and has since remained sidelined with a knee issue that has required a lot of rehab to get him back to a healthy status. Head coach Billy Donovan said Green is progressing but is still a couple of weeks away from participating in full-contact practices and games. As the Bulls try to make a playoff push, Green could help off of the bench if he finds his way back to the court soon. In the meantime, Derrick Jones Jr. will probably continue to get those vacated minutes behind Patrick Williams.
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) is going to be sidelined at least one week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The 29-year-old continues to deal with right knee soreness that will force him to miss the next four games. Patrick Williams stands to gain the most fantasy value with Green on the sideline. He has surprisingly been playing fairly well recently, so he could be worth rostering in the short term.
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) won't play on Wednesday evening versus the Brooklyn Nets. The 29-year-old will miss his second straight game because of a sore right knee. However, he's been in and out of the lineup for the last month or so. Nevertheless, without Green on the floor, Derrick Jones Jr., who had six points and six boards on Monday against the Cavs, would likely continue to see more action, although not enough to benefit fantasy managers.
Javonte Green On Minutes Restriction In Return Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Javonte Green (knee) will play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing the past five games. Green appears to have recovered from lingering knee soreness, but will be on a minutes restriction in his return. Green has only been playing about 16 minutes per game this season and may not even hit that mark on Wednesday. Once Green is up to speed, Coby White may see a small decrease in minutes.
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 29-year-old is set to miss another game due to right knee soreness. His absence would mean Patrick Williams would remain in the starting lineup for at least one more game. The increased playing time has helped his fantasy value, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect it to last. His playing time is likely to take a hit once Green is back to full speed.
Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a shame because Green was listed as probable heading into this contest. Clearly, Green is still being bothered by his right knee soreness, which could lead him to miss this game. Patrick Williams would likely benefit the most in the absence of Green. He hasn't been too sharp this season, but is worth a look as a streaming choice in deep leagues.
