Jeff Green Opens Year 19 With Rockets, No Injury Concerns on Roster
Jeff Green heads into the 2026-27 season with Houston as a 40-year-old veteran forward, wearing No. 32. He is not on the injury report. His role last season was a deep-bench one, and the numbers back that up: limited minutes, low usage, and a supporting presence more than a scoring one.

Jeff Green enters his 19th NBA season with the Rockets at age 40, still listed at 6-8 and 235 pounds out of Georgetown. He wears No. 32 and is not on the injury report, with no injury history logged. For a player his age, that clean bill of health matters more than any stat line. Houston has not yet opened the 2026-27 season, so his current-year role has not been tested in games yet. What is known is last season's usage: he was a fringe rotation piece who logged spot minutes rather than a set role. The opener will be the first real look at what his 19th season holds.
02Last Season's NumbersIn 2025-26, Green appeared in 30 games for Houston, averaging just 5.8 minutes a night.
In 2025-26, Green appeared in 30 games for Houston, averaging just 5.8 minutes a night. His scoring was minimal at 2.2 points per game, with 0.8 rebounds and 0.3 assists. He shot 36.8 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from three, but was a perfect 100.0 percent at the free-throw line, albeit in a tiny sample given his role. His true shooting mark sat at 47.7 percent and his usage rate was 17.1. The plus-minus was -0.9. Those numbers describe a player used sparingly, mostly for depth and locker room presence rather than as a scoring option.
