Green hasn't released a new podcast episode since Oct. 21. That episode featured a conversation between Green and Kings guard De'Aaron Fox. The Volume YouTube channel also hasn't uploaded any new clips in more than two months.
This announcement comes amid a hot stretch for Green and the Warriors. Golden State is on a five-game winning streak heading into Wednesday night's game against the Pistons. Green has averaged 6.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.8 blocks per game in that stretch.
