Radford, Va. – Former Radford men's basketball star and current NBA player with the Chicago Bulls, Javonte Green, will have his jersey retired at the Radford-Eastern Kentucky game at the Dedmon Center on Sunday, Nov. 28. Green will make the trip to the New River Valley and be in attendance for the 4:30 p.m. tip.
A member of the Radford program from 2011-15, Green ranks first in program history for career games played (133) and career steals (243) while also ranking second for career points scored (1,911), career field goals made (701), and career rebounds (1,064).
The Petersburg, Va. native was an All-Big South Conference selection in each of his four years as a Highlander and was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year in 2014-15. After earning a bachelor's degree from Radford University, he went on to play professionally overseas with stops in Spain, Italy, and Germany.
In 2019, Green became the first player in program history to sign a contract with an NBA organization when he inked a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics. During the 2020-21 season, he was traded to the Chicago Bulls, re-signed with them in the summer of 2021, and has already become a fan favorite in the Windy City with his energy, defense, and electric slam dunks.
A Javonte Green Radford jersey t-shirt will be given away to fans who attend the game while supplies last.
