Jeff Green receives stitches above right eye after taking hit vs. Hornets
Hornets #Hornets
After leaving the game early in the third quarter due to a right knee strain, Spencer Dinwiddie was joined by one of his Nets teammates in the visiting locker room in Charlotte well before the final buzzer. Jeff Green had to leave for the locker room after he took an elbow to the face from Bismack Biyombo in the pant in the fourth quarter.
Biyombo’s left elbow wound up catching Green just above the Brooklyn forward’s right eye, and he had to receive stitches as a result. However, Green was made available to return for the Nets, sporting a headband as he made his return to the bench.
Green did not return to the floor for the Nets until there were 5.3 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with two assists and one personal foul in 13 minutes of action without attempting a single shot.
