Javonte Green Bolsters the Detroit Pistons
Free agent forward Javonte Green is close to finalizing a one-year deal with the Detroit Pistons, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Green, 32, split last season between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 5.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 68 combined games.
With his height of 6 feet 5 inches, Green is expected to bring a defensive presence to Detroit’s forward rotation, which already features players like Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey, Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert, and Ronald Holland II.
Throughout his career, Green has participated in 263 games over six seasons, playing for the Pelicans, Cavs, Chicago Bulls, and Boston Celtics, averaging 5.3 points per game.
