Daily News | Danny Green finally receives 2019 NBA championship ring and prepares for increased playoff role
TORONTO — Danny Green took the stage Wednesday night at a venue called the Rec Room located a few blocks from Scotiabank Arena, where a crowd in Raptors gear gleefully cheered even though Green is now an opponent.
“It felt great to just get some good looks,” Green said. “ … Knowing that we were a man down and we may possibly be a man down if we do match up with [Toronto] again, I’m going to have to step up. So is everybody else.” His scoring average of 5.9 points per game is his lowest since he became a full-time NBA player, while his shooting percentages from the floor and from three-point range are his worst since 2017-18 with San Antonio. A multitude of injuries, plus a stint in health and safety protocols, resulted in him playing in a career-low 60 regular-season games with two remaining this weekend.
Throughout those hiccups, Thybulle ascended into the starting lineup, his defensive prowess outweighing his offensive limitations and inconsistency. Green, meanwhile, acknowledges he has struggled to establish rhythm, not just with his shot or his minutes but also while using baseline cuts and other off-ball movement to play off the teammates with whom he shares the floor.
“I’m not happy about it,” Green said. “… Most guys, I don’t want to say [are] disappointed, but … it’s still a point in the season when we’re still trying to gauge who we are, where we are. The only way to do that is to have everybody together. It’s tough to do that when we don’t have everybody.”
