Josh Green (shoulder) is not expected to participate in training camp.

Green is still working his way back to full strength after undergoing surgery in June to address instability in his left shoulder. Therefore, he is not expected to participate in training camp and has no defined return timeline. With the Hornets adding Collin Sexton via trade, Green appeared likely to come off the bench if he were guaranteed to be healthy when the season begins. Also, with the Hornets having Brandon Miller and adding two wings in the first round of this summer’s draft, Kon Knueppel and Liam McNeeley, Green will face more competition for rotation minutes than he did in 2024-25.
