PHILADELPHIA — The last time Danny Green was on the floor at the Wells Fargo Center, he took a hard fall in Game 6 of the 2022 Eastern Conference semifinals and had Joel Embiid fall on him. The veteran tore his ACL, and, at age 35, it seemed likely to be the end of his career.
The Sixers traded Green to the Memphis Grizzlies on draft night in exchange for De’Anthony Melton. Green was expected to miss the entire season. Instead, he rehabbed hard and made his debut for the Grizzlies on Feb. 1.
With Memphis going in a different direction, they sent Green to the Houston Rockets, who waived him. Green signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before Wednesday’s Sixers win over the Cavs, Green talked about his time in Philadelphia, what he has seen from James Harden in the 2022-23 season, and other topics.
