Magic's Jeff Green: Returns to bench role Thursday

Green will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Green was temporarily thrust into the starting lineup following the Serge Ibaka trade, but with Terrence Ross, who the Magic acquired in return for Ibaka, now available and in the starting lineup, the Magic will send Green back to the bench. That likely means a drop in minutes for the 30-year-old veteran, but he'll still be in line to serve as the first forward off the bench behind both Ross and Aaron Gordon, so he should still play a decent role off the bench.
