In mid-March, AJ Green was slumping. He was letting shots fly with his usual confidence, but something was off. In six games between March 18th and March 28th, Green was just 10/28 from three (35.7%). That’s not bad shooting for many players, but well below the kid’s usual loftier standards. Zooming out a bit more, between March 8th and March 24th, before a 5/9 slumpbuster on the 25th in Denver, he was 10/36 (27.8%). Yikes.
Following a contest on the 28th against the Knicks, Green missed two games with a shoulder sprain. Since his return, he’s been sizzling hot.
