Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene has signed to play in Puerto Rico.

Although Greene worked out for a "number" of NBA teams, he'll have to use the offseason to prove he's healthy and fight for a roster spot in someone's training camp.

Donte Greene will work out for NBA teams at Eastern Michigan on Sunday, according to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports.

Greene was set to sign with the Nets before he fractured his ankle. He's 100 percent recovered, but it's unclear if he'll garner a contract offer this late in the season.

Free agent F Donte Greene (ankle) is 100 percent cleared to play.

Greene continues to work on his conditioning following his August ankle fracture. The Nets were going to sign him before the injury, but it's unclear if they still have interest.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene (ankle) is now fully healthy and will audition his services for interested teams.

The Spurs, Bulls, Rockets, Timberwolves and Hornets have expressed interest, though it's not clear if or when Greene may get another opportunity in the NBA. His deal with the Nets fell apart in the offseason after he injured his ankle.

Donte Greene's deal with the Nets will reportedly "not go down now."

Greene's agent Chris Luchey had said previously that the expectation was for his client "to be a Net," but it sounds like that is in jeopardy following his ankle fracture. It will be interesting to see how the two sides handle it from here on out. Greene's expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future following his injury.

Donte Greene's ankle fracture "could be worse than a simple fracture."

Greene's agent Chris Luchey said that his client was dealing with "some type of fracture," but it sounds like Greene may have seriously injured the ankle. Pending MRI results, Greene may have to undergo surgery, which would obviously force him to miss a major chunk of time. The Nets may choose to go another route if Greene's injury is severe since Greene has yet to officially sign with the team. However, Luchey did say that he expects Greene "to be a Net."

Donte Greene's signing from earlier this week with the Nets is now on hold due to pending surgery on his ankle "with some type of fracture," according to his agent, Chris Luchey.

Greene suffered an ankle fracture while working out in Charlotte last Saturday, which is absolutely terrible timing for the free agent swingman. Greene's contract wasn't going to be guaranteed, but this definitely puts a major damper on the feasibility of it actually happening at all. He spent his prior four NBA seasons with the Kings and will now have to wait out the results of his surgery and/or MRI to find his next team.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene's contract with the Nets is "just a camp invite" and "isn't guaranteed," a source tells Hoopsworld's Alex Raskin.

However, Greene "definitely has a shot at making the team," and we'd agree with that assessment. The Nets need depth at small forward behind Gerald Wallace, and we're guessing the team isn't relying on Jerry Stackhouse to fill that role all season. Greene won't be a fantasy factor so long as Wallace stays healthy, but he's a nice depth addition for the reloaded Brooklyn squad.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene has "agreed in principle" to sign with the Nets, although the deal is for just one year and is not guaranteed unless he is still with the team in January.

Greene will have to fight his way through training camp to land a job backing up Gerald Wallace, but he has a decent shot at doing so. Although he was drafted No. 28 overall in 2008, Greene has failed to leave his mark in the league over four seasons with the Kings. He has career averages of 6.1 points and 2.4 rebounds on 40.6 percent shooting in 17 minutes per game and will not be a fantasy factor next season despite changing teams.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene's charity basketball game, the Goon Squad Classic II, has been canceled by the league for violating the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

"Any players who play without prior league approval face suspension and fines," wrote Greene, who is an unrestricted FA. "We are saddened by this news and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." Greene is attempting to issue full refunds for all ticket-holders, and may arrange a free meet-and-greet at a downtown Sacramento club. It seems mean-spirited of the league to cancel a charity game, but presumably Greene's camp didn't follow the necessary steps to gain approval.

Unrestricted FA Donte Greene said he's drawing interest from the Bulls, Knicks and Pacers.

Greene previously said that Chicago and Philadelphia were interested, but he now claims that there are three teams after his services. An unrestricted free agent after the Kings chose not to extend a qualifying contract offer, Greene will have no fantasy value regardless of where he winds up.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Unrestricted FA Donte Greene said that the Sixers and Bulls are "showing interest."

Greene hasn't received a contract offer from the Bulls, and it doesn't sound like he's received an official offer from the Sixers, either. His market has been uncomfortably quiet since Sacramento did not extend a qualifying contract offer to him, but he should be able to latch on somewhere and try to make an impression. Although he has an intriguing skill set, Greene is off of the fantasy radar regardless of where he lands.

Donte Greene - G/F - Grizzlies

Donte Greene announced Wednesday that he will be parting ways with the Kings.

The Kings did not extend him a qualifying offer and he will be an unrestricted free agent. The lanky wing never really caught on in Sacramento, but he was a good guy in the locker room and he'll almost certainly find himself on another team's roster by the end of the summer.
