Green has two more seasons left on his contract before he will have to decide on a $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 season.

The former Michigan State star was initially the 35th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft and will go down among the best second-round picks of all time.

His career averages are 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest while shooting 45.2% from the field and 31.9% from the three-point range in 813 regular season games.
