UCF guard Darin Green Jr. returns to school after exploring NBA

Green, who grew up in Tampa, averaged 10.1 points per game as a freshman last season. He led the American Athletic Conference in 3-point field-goal percentage (41.7) and 3-point field goals made (68).

"This process will allow me to test the waters and receive feedback," Green wrote in a social media post in April. "I thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and I want to thank my parents and coaches for their support."

The NCAA deadline to decide whether to enter the draft or return to school was June 3, but that deadline was pushed back indefinitely while the NBA struggles to figure out whether it can complete the current season that was suspended due to the pandemic and set the draft lottery based on all teams’ results.
