Overview
- Green was ruled out for the remainder of Friday's 116-101 loss after hurting his shoulder late in the second quarter on a screen by Andre Drummond, then heading to the locker room and not returning.
- He is set to undergo an MRI today, and the team expects to provide a final availability update shortly before tipoff in Detroit.
- Head coach Doc Rivers said losing Green hurts a team already short on shooters and emphasized the need to find ways to win through the injuries.
- The defeat dropped Milwaukee to 10-14 and 10th in the Eastern Conference, heightening the importance of short-term lineup clarity.
- Green has been a rare bright spot this season, starting every game he had played prior to Friday with 11.7 points per game on efficient shooting after signing a four-year deal worth about $45 million.
