Green spent the last two seasons with the Nuggets, appearing in 131 games. He’ll be making a return to Houston, where he played 18 games in 2019-20.
Denver’s eight-man playoff rotation is now down to just six. The starting five remains intact, with Christian Braun being the only key reserve still on the roster.
