In a social media post by the NBA G League on Saturday, February 6, Green and his teammates in Ignite wrote their goals ahead of the bubble season on their respective polaroid captures.
"5 days out - and these 5 guys have some big goals for the upcoming season," the NBA G League wrote, with the hashtag #NextIsNow.
