When the NBA suspended its season amid the coronavirus pandemic, Celtics forward Javonte Green received an invitation from teammate Kemba Walker to come down to Charlotte.
The offer to live with Walker and rookie Grant Williams was enticing, but Green stayed put three hours north in Virginia. He couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend extended time with his two daughters, Khloe, who will turn 8 years old later this month, and Kylie, who is 2.
“They’re my everything,” Green said. “They’re my world.”
Prior to signing a two-year contract with the Celtics in July, Green played basketball overseas for four seasons, most recently with ratiopharm Ulm in Germany.
