Former North Carolina Tar Heels standout Danny Green is returning to a familiar place.
Per Adrian Wojnarowski, Green has signed a one-year deal on Tuesday night to join the Philadelphia 76ers for another stint. He returns to Philadelphia where he will reunite with Joel Embiid and other players on the roster. He also has a strong relationship with new head coach Nick Nurse.
The 36-year-old Green previously spent two seasons with the 76ers from 2020-2022 and tore his ACL during the 2022 playoffs. He was then traded to Memphis where he played in just three games last season. Green spent eight games with the Cleveland Cavaliers last season.

At this stage in his career, Green can offer a solid shooting option off of the bench as well as being a veteran presence in the locker room.
In 14 seasons, Green is averaging 8.7 points, and 3.4 rebounds per game over his career while shooting 40 percent from the three-point line.
