AJ Green Elevated to Starting Role for Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks' point guard Damian Lillard has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Pistons due to a concussion, leading to A.J. Green's promotion to the starting lineup. Green has demonstrated impressive shooting skills, notably achieving a 51.9% success rate from beyond the arc this season, which is crucial as the Bucks struggle offensively with a low offensive rating and poor three-point shooting performance. Despite the presence of stars like Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team ranks in the bottom third for three-point shooting, necessitating Green's contributions. In his recent games, Green has excelled, tying his career-high in three-pointers and significantly impacting the Bucks' performance. His recent form and starting role could provide the needed spark for the struggling Bucks as they aim to improve their offensive dynamics. Green's contract with the Bucks is fully guaranteed, reflecting the team's confidence in his abilities.
