Green averaged 5.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 0.8 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes per game in his first season with the Magic.
Green is the only unrestricted free agent on the Magic. He's hinted at playing a few more years, but at age 33, he's mostly known for being a calming locker room presence with defensive savvy. Green met with Magic management and expressed an interest in returning to the club that claimed him off waivers last summer. Midway through the season, former coach Jacque Vaughn utilized Green as a primary ballhandler off the bench, a role that transferred over under interim head coach James Borrego. Prior to the role change, Green participated in two of the previous 18 games, mainly DNP-CDs. After struggling early in the season, Green finished the second half shooting 39 percent from downtown, well above his career mark.
