Green will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Kyrie Irving is back from his foot injury after missing the past two games. Green still figures to play a key role with the second unit for his versatility on both ends of the floor.

Green will start in place of Kyrie Irving (foot) on Monday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports

EDGE Analysis

Green gets the start over Tim Hardaway, but both should be in line for sizable roles with Irving missing his first game of the season. Green is averaging 29.0 minutes per game through the Mavericks' first two contests.

Green won't start Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Green was in contention to start at small forward, and it appeared it was trending that way after he signed a three-year extension with Dallas earlier this week. However, Derrick Jones will instead draw the starting nod for the season opener. Regardless of his second-unit status, Green should be expected to handle a large workload Wednesday.

Green signed a three-year, $41 million contract extension with the Mavericks on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green's role with Dallas has increased over his first three professional seasons, and he'll be rewarded with a hefty extension ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. The 22-year-old averaged 9.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game over 60 appearances last year and should have an opportunity to carve out consistent minutes once again this season.

Green notched 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and a block across 24 minutes in Friday's 114-104 preseason win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Green made his presence felt by leading the Mavs in scoring in this 10-point victory. Green should see consistent minutes as the Mavericks' starting small forward, and he could take advantage of the floor spacing that will be available by playing alongside Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. Green averaged 9.1 points per game in 2022-23 and looks poised to improve on those numbers in his fourth year in the league.

Green drew the start for Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Green was injured at the beginning of the week, and he ended up missing Tuesday's practice. He was a full participant at Thursday's practice, however, and he looked great during the early stages of Friday's exhibition.

Green (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green returned to practice Thursday after missing Tuesday's session with a back injury. His practice participation is a good sign of his availability for Friday's preseason finale against Detroit.

Green (back) injured his back Monday and missed practice Tuesday, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green's back injury sounds minor, and he'll have until Friday's preseason finale against Detroit to be cleared. However, if he misses that contest, his status for Dallas' regular-season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 25 would be in question.

Green is in the starting five for Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota, Alan Horton of Wolves Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green will replace Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the starting lineup Saturday. Green recorded six points, three rebounds and three assists in Dallas' preseason opener.

Green totaled six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 preseason loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Green has shown steady improvement over his first three seasons in the NBA, and he averaged 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over 60 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign. He put together a decent stat line off the bench during Thursday's preseason opener and should have an opportunity to see consistent playing time off the bench once again during the regular season.
