Danny Green has announced his retirement from the NBA after 15 seasons.
Green has only played in 13 games over the last two seasons, but that shouldn’t discredit his career. He suited up for six different organizations during his career, including two stints in both Cleveland and Philadelphia. He won championships with the Spurs, Raptors and Lakers, though the best seasons of his career were in San Antonio. He has already spent time over the last few years working in media, so expect to continue to see Green around on social media and on TV discussing hoops.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Danny Green was waived by the 76ers on Tuesday after the team acquired Robert Covington, Marcus Morris, KJ Martin and Nicolas Batum from the Clippers for James Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev.
The veteran signed with Philly in early September but will now look to find a new team. He offers a 3-and-D skillset that should still be valuable to a contender, but Green’s days of fantasy relevance are long behind him.

Green returns to Philly after just one year away, which he spent with the Grizzlies and Cavs. He hasn’t been very productive in fantasy over the last few years, but he’s a solid veteran and a good 3-and-D option. Still, he shouldn’t be making any waves in fantasy hoops.
Danny Green shot 8-of-14 from the field in Thursday's 118-94 win over Orlando, accumulating 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block, and five 3-pointers in 26 minutes.
Seeing action for the first time since March 17, Green made the most of his opportunity to log rotation minutes. The 21 points and five 3-pointers represent season-highs for the veteran wing, who did not make his season debut (with the Grizzlies) until February 1 due to his recovery from a torn ACL suffered during last season's playoffs. Expecting Green to vault into the postseason rotation on the strength of one performance may be a bit much, but he certainly showed what he can provide on both ends of the floor if his name is called. Fellow reserves Isaiah Mobley (18/4/1/3/2 with two 3-pointers) and Mamadi Diakite (13/8/1/1/1 with one 3-pointer) also played well in Orlando, but their chances of cracking the postseason rotation are far slimmer than Green's. At a minimum, Mobley and Diakite should play plenty in Sunday's game against Charlotte.
