Sixers guard Danny Green will not return vs. Pacers due to hamstring

Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green will not return against the Indiana Pacers due to left hamstring tightness.

Things continue to get worse for the Philadelphia 76ers in the health department. After entering Saturday’s contest with the Indiana Pacers already missing Joel Embiid and Matisse Thybulle still as they are in the health and safety protocols, they lost one of their veteran guards in the process.

Danny Green, who missed time due to left hamstring tightness and just recently returned, left the game in the third quarter on Saturday grabbing his hamstring and he went straight to the locker room. With the Sixers still a bit shorthanded, it was tough to see him leave in this one and the team then announced that he would not return with the same injury that forced him to miss the time before.

Philadelphia is battling back in Indiana as they were once down 20 and Green was a big part of them getting back to within single digits early in the fourth. The Sixers will now have to try and battle without him.
