A week after signing with Union Olimpija, Danny Green left for Slovenia on Saturday.

“I’ve heard horror stories about playing overseas, and I’ve heard good stories,” said Green. “I don’t know what to expect.”

Green said he would not be going abroad if not for an out clause that allows him to return to the Spurs when the lockout concludes.

“I didn’t want to jeopardize what I had here,”  Green said. “This is where I want to be. At the same time, I need to play somewhere.”
