ATLANTA – Veteran forward Jeff Green has been there for the Orlando Magic all season, leading in the locker room with his respected, authoritative voice and appearing in 52 of the team’s 53 games.
Green is hopeful that the team will understand if he must up and leave at some point over the next few days – even if it’s in the middle of a game.
Green and his fiancé, Stephanie, are expecting their first child – a girl – any day now. The due date isn’t until Feb. 20, but Stephanie has already started feeling stronger contractions and doctors have told the couple that the birth could happen at any point now.
