Danny Green still rooting for Sixers, hoping for opportunity to return
When the Philadelphia 76ers made the big move to send James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers back on Halloween, they had to make a corresponding move due to the fact that they received more players than they were sending out.
To make room for the players they received from the Clippers, the Sixers decided to waive Danny Green. Philadelphia brought Green back on a 1-year deal after he spent the 2022-23 season with the Memphis Grizzlies and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played two games with the Sixers before he was waived.
While on FanDuel’s “Run it Back”, Green admitted he roots for the teams he used to play for. Especially, the Sixers as he hopes for the chance to return:
I will say this, I am not rooting against Philly right now. I’m still watching those guys. I root for my friends on the team that I left, I still want to see them do well. The team itself? You don’t want to see do well unless you leave on a really good note. Toronto, I left on a really good note. LA, I left on a pretty good note, but still, you kinda watch how they’re playing, you don’t hope they do so great that you’re gone, but with Philly, I’m still rooting for them because I think there’s an opportunity for me to end up back there. Hopefully, in the near future.

Green is a veteran player in this league and he can still produce. Whether the Sixers will be able to find an open roster spot for him remains to be seen, but if Philadelphia were to bring him back, he would be helpful both on the floor and in the locker room.
