Jeff Green revealed that he fought fatigue earlier in the season.
Many are quick to forget about Green's open-heart surgery and how it impacts a professional basketball player, but Green's journey and recovery have been truly amazing. Green wears a customized padded tank top to protect the chest now, and while he's on pace to make a full recovery, Green is still not 100 percent and it's not clear when that might happen, but all signs continue to be positive in Green's recovery.

Jeff Green scored a team-high 21 points in Friday's Game 3 90-76 loss to the Knicks, while adding nine boards, four assists and two 3-pointers in 44 minutes.

He and Paul Pierce (17 points, five assists and one 3-pointer) each had five turnovers and Boston's offense has been a disaster in this series. They scored just 31 points in the first half and they've averaged just 75.0 points per game in their three losses. Doc Rivers put Jason Terry in the starting lineup and he's probably part of the problem for the Celtics. Quite frankly, they didn't have much of a chance against a hot Knicks team. They'll look to avoid the sweep in Boston on Sunday.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green was terrific in Boston's loss to the Knicks on Saturday with 26 points, seven boards, two assists, three blocks and three 3-pointers in 46 minutes.

Green was the best player on the floor in the first half with 20 points, but he had six turnovers in the game, which ultimately became Boston's undoing. The big line is nothing new for Green and he averaged 19.1 points and 5.7 boards on 52.1 percent shooting in his last 10 games in the regular season. Green has earned his minutes and he'll have a lot of responsibilities, including guarding Carmelo Anthony.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green reached his goal on Wednesday by playing in all 81 of the Celtics' games this season.

He had nine points in 17 minutes after missing last season due to heart surgery, and is one of the league's true feel-good stories. He'll also play a major role for the Celtics in the playoffs, and should make for a solid playoff league draftee, especially if the Celtics can get by the Knicks in Round 1.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry are out, while Jeff Green, Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass will all see limited minutes for the Celtics on Wednesday.

It's hard to predict who might go off for the C's tonight, but we doubt it's any of the players listed above. Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee, Jordan Crawford, Terrence Williams, Shavlik Randolph, Fab Melo, D.J. White and Chris Wilcox will all see extra minutes tonight. And we're guessing Crawford has the best chance at blowing up with a big line.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green has something to prove to himself after missing all of last season after heart surgery, and is determined to play in all 82 regular-season games despite the fact the Celtics have nothing left to play for.

"For me, it’s big -- missing a year, coming off of heart surgery," he said. "For me it’s big to come back, play a full year, play every game in the playoffs and to contribute the way I’ve been in the second half of the season. I just want to continue to make progress and finish the season strong." While it's great news for his fantasy owners, Doc Rivers is still going to make sure Green gets some rest. "I just won't let him play a lot," he said.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green (elbow) finished Saturday's easy victory with 17 points, two 3-pointers, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes.

Green shot just 6-of-17 from the field, but he hit two 3-pointers and at no point did he seem concerned about his bruised elbow. The injury should be a non-issue for the Celtics' final games on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it never hurts to double-check.

Jeff Green (wrist), Paul Pierce (ankle) and Kevin Garnett (ankle) are all playing against the Magic on Saturday.

Green said that he expected to play and that he just lost some feeling after hurting his wrist on Friday. He's scored 17.6 points with plenty of stats to go around since the All-Star break and he's been a terrific pickup in fantasy. Green is safe to deploy in all leagues.

Jeff Green said his bruised elbow is fine and he'll be in the lineup Saturday.

"I'm cool," is what Green actually said about the injury that forced him out of Friday's game with 8:28 left in the fourth quarter. Green has been an excellent late-season development for fantasy owners and the Celtics, who will need him healthy in the postseason. We expect Green to be in the lineup tonight but owners will want to check back after shootaround just to be safe.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green banged his left wrist and left elbow during Friday's game, but is expected to play on Saturday against the Magic.

Green was on his way to a solid outing with 25 points and eight rebounds before exiting the game, and owners should feel relatively good about using him on Saturday barring a change of direction in his injury reports.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green went to the locker room with an apparent left injury.

He looked to have jammed it and the training staff will likely conduct an X-ray to check for a fracture. Green has been outstanding and Boston would have to count on Terrence Williams to play more small forward for the short-handed Celtics.
Apr 12 - 9:42 PM
Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green had one of his worst games of the second half of the season on Wednesday, shooting 4-of-17 from the field for 11 points with four boards, two assists and two 3-pointers vs. the Nets.

The 4-of-17 shooting is uncharacteristic for him after he shot an impressive 50.8 percent since the All-Star break. Green has been terrific across the board in that span, averaging 17.6 points, 4.9 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.9 steals and 1.2 triples. He should bounce back on Friday against Miami.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green moved to small forward in Sunday's game, scoring just eight points with three rebounds, zero assists, two steals and four turnovers in 27 minutes.

Kevin Garnett (ankle) returned and started at center, moving Brandon Bass to power forward, but Green's owners shouldn't panic after tonight's quiet game. The Wizards' defense is allowing the sixth-fewest points of any team in the league (95.1 per game) and Green's early foul trouble was the primary cause of his limited playing time. He should bounce back quickly vs. the Nets on Wednesday.
Apr 7 - 8:52 PM
Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Jeff Green scored 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting with nine boards, four assists and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes against the Cavs on Friday.

He's going off these days and over his previous 10, Green averaged 21.6 points, 5.5 boards 1.6 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.8 triples. He's been a top-20 player in standard leagues over the past month and is shaping up to be one of the best pickups since Jared Sullinger had season-ending surgery back in February.

Jeff Green - F - Celtics

Doc Rivers said Jeff Green has "earned" being a starter, and he will continue to start Green this season.

Pretty big news for Green's confidence and his fantasy value the rest of the season. It sounds like the plan is for Green to continue starting at power forward when Kevin Garnett (ankle) returns, with KG shifting to center and Paul Pierce playing his usual small forward position. Green's recent breakout has earned him the chance to show what he's capable of doing in a starter's role. In that role this season, Green is averaging 22.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.1 steals and 1.8 3-pointers on a ridiculous 56.3 percent shooting.
