Josh Green was cleared Wednesday, moving off the day-to-day tag he had carried since Sunday. The Jazz now have him available for their next game, Oct. 12 against the Spurs.
What happened
Josh Green was cleared as of Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 12:24 AM ET. He had been listed day-to-day since Sunday, Oct. 4 with a left knee and leg issue. The injury report does not include a detail beyond that designation, and there is no report comment attached to either the Sunday listing or Wednesday's clearance. No expected-return date was announced, since the clearance itself resolves the question of his availability.
What it means for the Jazz
Utah's next game is Oct. 12 against the Spurs at 9:00 PM ET, and the 2026-27 season has not started, so the Jazz carry no record yet with or without Green. Last season he played 58 games at 15.7 minutes, averaging 4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists. In the rotation, Lauri Markkanen (34.3 minutes), Keyonte George (33.1) and Kennedy Chandler (32.3) have logged the heaviest workloads, with Andersson Garcia, Bez Mbeng, Walker Kessler, Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic also in the mix. Green's clearance gives Utah a full backcourt option heading into that opener.
What to watch
Three other Jazz players remain day-to-day on the injury report: Lauri Markkanen (neck, head), Kyle Filipowski (back, torso) and Brice Sensabaugh (hip, torso, left side). None of those listings include a report comment or expected-return date. The next injury report will show whether any of those three move off day-to-day before the Oct. 12 game against the Spurs.
