Danny Green

Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, per Shams Charania.

Fantasy Impact

Green went down part-way through Thursday's loss to the Miami Heat, and he wasn't able to return to the contest. It has since been revealed that he suffered a torn ACL, and that leaves him with a long road for recovery with him being nearly 35 years old. With the Sixers being eliminated, there isn't any games in the near future he will miss, but his timeline would only allow him to return in 8 - 9 months at the earliest.

Danny Green recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-7 3PT, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 39 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

Green started in place of Matisse Thybulle who was ineligible to play. The sharpshooter made the most of his expanded role hitting a season-high six threes. Unfortunately under normal circumstances, Green has seen too few of minutes and offensive usage to be fantasy relevant. The 34-year-old will likely return to his usual low minutes off the bench when the 76ers host the Pacers on Saturday.

Sixers F Danny Green is available Monday against Denver according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps.

Fantasy Impact

Green will play for the first time since last March 7 after missing time due to a middle finger injury. Green should continue to hit 3s at a nearly 38% clip and sink 90% of his free throws and offer value in season long rotoleagues if you need some late help there.

Danny Green is probable for Monday's game against Denver despite still dealing with a "left middle finger laceration" according to Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.

Fantasy Impact

Green has not played since inuring his finger on March 7. The versatile Green has dealt with a plethora of injuries this year including hamstring issues, calf issues, COVID-19 so this finger injury is about par for the course this season. When healthy he is still a great source of 3-pointers, shooting nearly 38% from deep, and he boasts a 90% free throw percentage this season.

76ers coach Doc Rivers states that Danny Green is “most likely” out for Thursday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Green suffered a deep cut on his finger on Monday and will need more time for it to heal. Matisse Thybulle will start again for Thursday’s game and is considered a nice value play for daily fantasy contests.
