Doc Rivers was asked if he plans on leaving Jeff Green in the starting lineup when Kevin Garnett returns.
“Yeah, I think Jeff has earned that,” Rivers said. “When your confidence is high you can do everything. You think you can jump off of a building. That, and knowledge. I just think being around longer in our system has helped us as well.”
Green has started 11 games for the Celtics this season and averaged 22.5 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game in those contests.
Green has played well alongside Paul Pierce, giving the Celtics an interchangeable combination at the forward positions.
“I don’t know who’s at the 2, but I’m comfortable with that lineup,” Rivers said. “I don’t think we have a 2. We’re playing a 2, two 3s and two 4s, if you wanted to really be honest.”
