Toronto Raptors shooting guard Danny Green left Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Pistons and will not return due to lower back tightness.

The 31-year-old took a hard screen during the third quarter and quickly headed to the locker room to receive medical attention.

Green is averaging 9.5 points per game and shooting a career-best 43.9 per cent from three-point range.
