Mavericks' Josh Green: Logs 14 minutes in return
Rotowire
Green (ankle) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes in Wednesday's 111-92 win over the Heat.
Green put an end to a 12-game absence Wednesday, appearing for the first time since spraining his right ankle in a March 14 loss to the Thunder. He ended up filling a backup role on the wing and was a plus-7 during his time on the court. Before he exited the March 14 game, Green had averaged 23.3 minutes per contest in his four prior outings since being moved to the second unit in favor of Derrick Jones, so Green could see a modest uptick in playing time as he becomes further removed from the injury.

Rotowire
Green (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Green is set to return from a 12-game absence Wednesday night, so he'll likely be operating on some minutes restrictions, making him an unappealing target in fantasy hoops. With Green back in the rotation, Tim Hardaway's minutes could dip a bit.

Green has missed the last 12 games due to a right ankle sprain but appears to be trending in the right direction, as he had been listed as doubtful ahead of recent matchups. Even if he's cleared to suit up Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Ditches walking boot
Rotowire
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Sunday that Green (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot but hasn't been cleared for on-court activity, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Green has been able to do some conditioning work in the pool since ditching his walking boot, but his sprained right ankle needs to heal a bit more before he can take part in basketball activities. The fourth-year forward is without an official timeline for a return since suffering the injury March 14, but he looks to be closer to week-to-week than day-to-day at this stage of his recovery.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Making impact on defense
Rotowire
Green notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-113 victory over the Suns.
The fourth-year forward isn't getting many looks on offense, scoring in single digits in three of the last four games, but Smith is still contributing on the defensive end. He's recorded multiple steals four times during the Mavs' current seven-game win streak, averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (14-for-28) from beyond the arc. While the efficiency is encouraging, his usage figures to remain low as long as both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are healthy.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Strong scoring production
Rotowire
Green logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 loss to Milwaukee.
Green posted his second 20-point game this season, while knocking down at least three triples for the eighth occasion. Dallas was destroyed with Green on the court, however, as his minus-29 net rating was easily a team-worst mark Saturday. Green is knocking down 40.0 percent of 3.5 threes per game this season, but his overall efficiency has regressed slightly and Dallas' defensive rating has been 4.0 points worse with him on the court.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Available to face New Orleans
Rotowire
Green (illness) is available to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Green was deemed questionable to feature Saturday, but he'll give it a go. He's started in each of Dallas' last five games, averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
Green chipped in 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 128-124 win over the Knicks.
Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in the contest, so the Mavericks needed players to step up in his absence. Green filled that role nicely, hitting eight of 12 field-goal attempts en route to his highest-scoring total since the turn of the calendar year. This was a much-needed bounce-back game for the fourth-year forward, as he had recorded just four points on 2-for-6 shooting over 54 minutes across his previous two contests.
