The Houston native will return for his third straight season with the Rockets and will look to add some depth and 3-point scoring off the bench.
Green averaged 9.2 points per game last season in 73 games with the Rockets, becoming one of the top scoring options off the bench.
Green’s playoffs were not as shiny and smooth as he would have wanted, but he brings major energy off the bench and a sense of community with the city.
I can’t imagine many fans would be disappointed, and the move’s timing coming minutes after the 5 PM CT start time shows that the organization is really excited to bring Green back.
Welcome back, Gerald Green!
