Danny Green will become a free agent in July along with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, but he hopes to return to the San Antonio Spurs.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet, but this is a special group,” Green said. “That’s why it sucks so bad, especially for Timmy (Duncan) and Manu (Ginobili). We had an opportunity to do something special for them. All I can do is hope and pray for another group like that in the future, but I have a feeling some of those guys will be back. R.C. and Pop do a great job of bringing in new guys.”

Green scored 16 points in the Spurs' season-ending loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7.

“Hopefully, I’ll be back,” he said. “I love San Antonio. The fans have always supported us, from day one. It sucks that we had such a special group, and things may be changing and not be the same again.”
