Injured guard Willie Green could return to the Sixers lineup shortly.

Team president Billy King confirmed that Green had been medically cleared to play, now it's a matter of coming to contract terms.

Green, who had reached an agreement with the Sixers on a five-year, $17 million contract, had knee surgery to repair his torn left anterior cruciate ligament in August. He injured the knee in a summer league game in Detroit before he could sign that contract.
