When the Philadelphia 76ers signed Danny Green to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal back in early September, there were certainly some virtual chuckles and eyerolls in Sixers fan circles. After a lost season in Memphis and Cleveland following his torn right ACL and LCL in the 2022 playoffs with the Sixers, it was fair to wonder whether Green, now 36 years old, had anything left in the tank.
However, as Green told The Inquirer’s Keith Pompey, “I didn’t do all that rehab for no reason.” While his 1-of-6 shooting performance in Sunday’s preseason opener certainly wouldn’t turn any heads, his 12 minutes in Wednesday night’s second exhibition contest told a different story.
