    Team president Billy King confirmed that Green had been medically cleared to play, now it's a matter of coming to contract terms.

    Green, who had reached an agreement with the Sixers on a five-year, $17 million contract, had knee surgery to repair his torn left anterior cruciate ligament in August. He injured the knee in a summer league game in Detroit before he could sign that contract.

    The restricted free agent's been rehabbing the knee and appears close to making a return -- depending on the contract situation.

    King said the Sixers have not yet offered Green a contract, but they're waiting to hear back from Green's representatives. They will likely offer Green a one-year prorated deal for the remainder of this season.

    "I'm just waiting to hear back from them," King said

    good to hear. i hope when he comes back, he will be close to 100% health wise, because we never want players to rush back. he should be a great bench player for us and give us some energy. its also good to see BK actually being smart and not giving him a 5 year deal after the injury. lol.
