Bucks' AJ Green: Cleared to play Thursday

Green (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Green has been cleared to return Thursday from a three-game absence due to a shoulder sprain, and he'll likely be in the Bucks' starting five in place of Kyle Kuzma (illness). Green has started in all 24 regular-season games he has appeared in and is averaging 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 3.3 threes over 29.0 minutes per game this season.
