The Thunder acquired Green and a 2027 protected first-round pick in a trade with the Denver Nuggets this past June for the 2022 NBA draft No. 30 pick.
Green subsequently picked up his $8.2 million player option. When asked about his future with the team, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said the team will work with Green to ship him off to another team.
