14 Danny Green SF

Green will accept his $10 million player option for the 2018-19 campaign, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Green just turned 31 years old and is coming off another down year shooting the ball from distance, which may be driving his decision to accept his player option rather than test the open market. From the 2011-12 season through the 2014-15 season, he made 42.3 percent of his shots from three. Over the past three campaigns, that number has dropped drastically to 35.7 percent.

Green received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left groin earlier in the offseason and is continuing to rehab, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Green said that he has resumed some strengthening exercises but has yet to resume court work since the Spurs were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs back in late April. The 30-year-old shooting guard, who averaged 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.6 assists in 25.6 minutes per game over 70 regular-season contests, noted that he has yet to decide whether he'll exercise his $10 million player option for 2018-19 or hit unrestricted free agency July 1. He'll likely meet with the team brass at some point in June and take into account the Spurs' draft selections later in the month before making a decision.

Green totaled nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during San Antonio's 110-97 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.

Green bounced back from a scoreless effort over 25 minutes in Game 2 with a series-high point total. The 30-year-old doubled his previous high-water marks of five shot attempts and two rebounds as well, but he still projects as a fourth scoring option at best behind LaMarcus Aldridge, Rudy Gay and Patty Mills. Consequently, he projects exclusively as a deep DFS tournament play for Sunday's Game 4.

Green will re-enter the starting five for Monday's game against the Kings, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

The Spurs have alternated between and and big and small lineup over the last month or so. For Monday's contest, coach Gregg Popovich will go back to his smaller one, inserting Green into the starting lineup, while bringing big man Pau Gasol off the bench. After logging just 13 and 22 minutes, respectively, over the last two games, Green should see an uptick in his overall playing time.

Green will start at small forward in Sunday's game against Houston, Craig Ackerman of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Green is drawing the start in place of Pau Gasol as the Spurs shift to a smaller lineup against the first-place Rockets. Look for Green to see a slight minutes increase while in the starting lineup.
