Three-time NBA champion role player to announce retirement

Green will announce his decision on his podcast Thursday. He is one of four players in NBA history to win championships with three different teams — the Spurs in 2014, the Raptors in 2019 and the Lakers in 2020.

Green carved out a 15-year career as a 3-and-D player. He averaged 40% from distance in his career on a whopping 3,946 regular-season attempts. Overall, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.1 minutes. Green appeared in 832 regular-season contests, including 709 starts.

He also played in 169 postseason contests, averaging 7.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes.

Green began his career in Cleveland as a second-round pick in 2009. He spent the bulk of his career (2010-18) with San Antonio, then had one-year stints during those championship runs with Toronto and the Lakers. Green spent the next two seasons in Philadelphia. He only played a total of 11 games with Memphis and Cleveland in 2022-23 and two games with the Sixers last season.

He was waived in early November by Philadelphia after it completed the James Harden blockbuster with the Clippers and never found another opportunity as a free agent.
