After regularly seeing playing time—sometimes a significant amount—at the start of the season, rookie Josh Green has fallen out of the Dallas Mavericks’ rotation. He has appeared in just one of the team’s eight games in February, playing just over five minutes.
In order to get him some much-needed playing time, the Mavericks announced Wednesday that they flex-assigned Green to the Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G League, where teammate Tyler Bey is also assigned.
“He was playing when we had four of our best defenders out on Covid protocols, but with those guys back, the rotation minutes have not been there,” Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said.
