The Hornets traded LaMelo Ball and Green to Minnesota on Thursday in exchange for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Scoreless in season-ending loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Muted role continues
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Scoreless in 14 minutes
Rotowire
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Passive again in victory
Rotowire
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.
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 players.

Hornets' Josh Green: Scores 12 points off bench
Rotowire
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.
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 Mavericks wing is producing 6.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 1.0 steal and 0.8 assists this month.

Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high four steals
Rotowire
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.
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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Available Monday
Rotowire
Green (thumb) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
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.
Green is probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a right thumb sprain.
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 the former issue 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.

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

Hornets' Josh Green: Chips in 12 points Monday
Rotowire
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.
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, failing to score in four of those contests.
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.
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.
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.
Green logged a season-high 25 minutes, just the second time he has seen at least 20 minutes since making his season debut 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.

Hornets' Josh Green: Decent line in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

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