Jeff Green reunited with former Thunder teammates Harden, Westbrook

The Houston Rockets have reportedly signed journeyman forward Jeff Green to a 10-day contract.

According to ESPN, Green was set to sign on Tuesday after being waived by the Utah Jazz late in December. Green signed a one-year free-agent deal with Utah in July and averaged 7.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 30 games for the Jazz.

The deal allowed him to reunite for his former Oklahoma City teammates, James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

Drafted by the fifth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in 2007, he played for the team for one year before the franchise moved to Oklahoma City.

In total, Green played three and a half seasons for Seattle/OKC before he was traded to the Celtics in a deadline deal on Feb. 24, 2011, for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson.

In 289 games between the Supersonics and Thunder, Green averaged 14.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

He played just 26 games for the Celtics before missing the entire 2011-12 season with a heart condition.

He returned the following year to play 81 games for Boston during the 2012-13 season.

Now in his 12th year, Green has played for eight different franchises during his career, averaging 13.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 890 career games.
