Former Mavs Guard Says Farewell to Franchise: NBA Tracker
JULY 8 JOSH GREEN SAYS THANK YOU Following the sign-and-trade that brought Josh Green to the Charlotte Hornets, the former Dallas Mavericks guard addressed his time with the Luka Doncic-led franchise on social media.
Green averaged 6.4 points on 37 percent shooting from distance in his four years in Dallas.
The 2024 NBA Finals showcased Green's main NBA skill: playing energetic basketball. Stats don't convey Green's impact on the game, but upon watching the 6'5 guard zooming across the court, you'll notice the high effort with which he plays.
