14 Danny Green G

Green (quadriceps) started at shooting guard in Monday's 99-98 loss to the Trail Blazers, posting five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 20 minutes.

Jonathon Simmons headed back to the bench to make room for Green in the starting five, but coach Gregg Popovich mostly limited his starters Monday, as nobody on the top unit played more than 22 minutes. As a result of the limited run, Green's production was fairly limited, but even when he receives closer to 30 minutes, he'll usually not a reliable source of double-digit scoring. He's strictly a three-point specialist for the Spurs and offers little for fantasy owners to get excited about in any other category.

Green (quad) is no longer listed on the Spurs' injury report for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Green has missed the last five games with a quad injury, but has now been cleared and should be available for the final two tuneup games of the regular season this week. Look for Green to take back his spot in the starting lineup and unless reported otherwise, he should be good for a full workload. Green's return likely means less time for both Jonathon Simmons and Kyle Anderson.

Green (quad) will be sidelined for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

Green will miss a fifth straight game Saturday due to a bruised quad. As a result, Jonathon Simmons will draw another start at shooting guard.

Green (quad) is considered questionable to play Saturday against the Clippers.

A bruised quad has kept Green on the sideline for the last four contests, but there's a chance he'll be able to make his return for Saturday night's national TV game. The Spurs will likely wait until Green can test out the quad pregame, so an update on his status may not come until close to game-time. If Green is ultimately held out, expect Jonathon Simmons to make another start at shooting guard in his place.

Green (thigh) will remain sidelined for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Green joins a long list of Spurs sitting out, as coach Gregg Popovich looks to get some his guys some extra rest before the playoffs. This will mark Green's fourth straight absence, however, as he continues to work his way back from a thigh injury. With both Manu Ginobili (quad) and Kawhi Leonard (rest) out in addition to Green, Jonathon Simmons and Kyle Anderson should get the bulk of the work on the wings, with Bryn Forbes providing another option off the bench at shooting guard as well.
