Rookie Gerald Green will be back with the Celts tonight.
Rivers and executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge decided to send the first-round draft pick to the Fayetteville Patriots of the NBDL on Jan. 6. In seven games, he has averaged 12.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists -- but over 3 turnovers.
He is expected to travel with the team for its two-game road trip in Florida this weekend, since Boston's recent seven-play trade with Minnesota left them with 11 active players, one short of the 12-player maximum.
"It will be interesting (to see) what he remembers [of Boston's plays]. We have made some changes," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, adding that Green's stay with Boston won't be that long.
