Josh Green Sidelined Mid-Game with Shoulder Injury

Josh Green entered Wednesday's contest against the Pacers listed as probable due to left shoulder soreness, an issue he had managed to play through earlier in the week. However, during the game, he appeared to aggravate the injury, leading to the team ruling him out after just eight minutes on the court.

Reports indicate Jusuf Nurkic started the second half in Green's place, signaling a likely increase in minutes for him. Additionally, guards/forwards Josh Okogie and DaQuan Jeffries are expected to absorb some of Green's playing time.

Before this aggravation, Green had been contributing steadily, averaging 6.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last 13 appearances (prior to Wednesday's game), according to RotoBaller data. His status for the Hornets' next game on Friday against Sacramento is now uncertain.
