Green landed a starting role for the Bulls for 45 of his 65 games in the 2021-22 season, and slid to a bench role last year in which a knee problem limited him to just 32 games. The swingman averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in his 2½ seasons in Chicago, averaging 19 minutes per game, and spent a year and a half with the Boston Celtics before that, playing a much smaller role. He also played internationally in Spain, Italy and Germany before coming to the NBA. 

The Warriors have waived Donovan Williams, Javan Johnson and Kendric Davis, per sources. They are signing Javonte Green and Yuri Collins today. All five are expected to land in Santa Cruz to open the G-League season in the organizational pipeline.

The move was part of a slew of transactions as the Warriors look to reshape their depth roles for the coming season. They also signed Yuri Collins, while waiving Donovan Williams, Javan Johnson and Kendric Davis. It's expected that all five of those players, including Green, will start the year with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League.
