The three-time NBA champion will join TNT's flagship pregame and postgame show "as his schedule aligns," per a network statement. He will join Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and host Ernie Johnson.

"I've had an amazing experience working with Turner Sports in recent years and I'm a big believer in the way they entertain and genuinely connect with fans on all levels," Green said Thursday. "Today's announcement helps to formalize our relationship and I couldn't be prouder to officially be a part of the TNT family."

Green had already worked as a guest analyst at Inside the NBA during the playoffs in 2020 and 2021. Now, however, Green will become the first active player to appear in a show with a season not finished.
