Green (shoulder) may not be ready for training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Boone reports that there is "no definitive work on his recovery timetable," to be clear. Green underwent surgery on June 20 to address the instability in his left shoulder, putting his status for Opening Night in jeopardy. In 68 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, Green averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a career-high 1.1 steals per game.

Hornets' Josh Green: Won't play in finale
Rotowire
Green (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Green will miss his sixth consecutive game due to a shoulder injury, and the veteran forward will sit out this regular-season finale since the Hornets don't have anything to play for. This means DaQuan Jeffries, Wendell Moore, Nick Smith and Tidjane Salaun are likely to see expanded roles in the rotation. Green finishes the 2024-25 season with averages of 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.8 minutes per game across 68 appearances (67 starts).

Rotowire

Hornets' Josh Green: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Green (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Green was initially listed as probable due to left shoulder soreness, but his downgrade to questionable puts his availability in jeopardy. Green has missed only one contest since Feb. 10. Nick Smith started that game and scored 11 points in 34 minutes. Smith, Wendell Moore, Seth Curry and KJ Simpson would be candidates for elevated minutes if Green is unable to play Sunday.

Rotowire
Green notched five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one assist in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 win over New York.
Green continues to be a non-factor on the offensive end for Charlotte. Despite playing 26.7 minutes per game over his last eight appearances, Green is averaging 5.4 points on 33.3 percent shooting from the field with 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high 20 points in win
Rotowire
Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.
It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.

Hornets' Josh Green: Solid all-around performance
Rotowire
Green notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Wizards.
Green hasn't been the most consistent offensive weapon for the Hornets despite being a regular starter, but he's managed to score in double digits in three of his previous eight contests. Over that span, he's averaging 9.0 points, 2.1 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Green isn't expected to be a difference-making player in most fantasy formats, but he could have decent upside as a streaming option in deep formats, particularly in games where the Hornets are shorthanded.

Hornets' Josh Green: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Green (foot) will play in Friday's game against the Clippers.

The 24-year-old has averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.2 threes in 28.7 minutes while shooting 50.0 percent from deep over his last six appearances for the Hornets, and he should see an uptick in usage against Los Angeles with several key contributors out of Charlotte's lineup.
