Report: Grizzlies guard Danny Green joins ESPN in part-time ... (NBA.com)

Memphis swingman Danny Green will serve as a part-time analyst for ESPN while continuing to play for the Grizzlies in 2022-23.

He hosted his own podcast called “Inside the Green Room with Danny Green” from 2018-22. Golden State Warriors standout forward Draymond Green has a similar partnership with Turner Sports. During the 76ers’ playoff run last season, Green tore his ACL in the Eastern Conference semifinals against Miami. Green’s foray into television brings to mind another current player serving as a part-time analyst, too. Overall, he has averaged 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 39.9% on 3-pointers in his career. A former second-round pick in 2009, Green is entering his 14th season and has been a key part of three championship teams and played in four NBA Finals as well.

Danny Green will continue to prioritize his health and rehabbing, but his deal with ESPN allows him to get an early start on his post-career plans.

"While I have the time now, I get a chance to venture out and get some reps in." "I'm sure I'll get some heat," Green said. Green is adamant that his ESPN appearances won't impact his rehab with the Grizzlies. He's dressed out in practices and done light shooting drills, his return date is unknown. Grizzlies forward Danny Green has agreed to a TV deal with ESPN. "When I'm done playing, it's something that I always wanted to venture out into," Green said.
