Tyrell Green listening, playing well for UNLV Rebels
Even before the injuries removed Tyrell Green for most of last season, he had done little to suggest he would be an impact player.
It was that lost season, however, that drove Green in the offseason. Green not only was motivated to recover from back spasms, knee tendinitis and an injured hamstring, but to make sure when he did get back on the basketball court, he would be productive.
As the nonconference season nears a close, Green has accomplished those goals, becoming UNLV’s most improved player and perhaps its best.
