In the 76ers win in Orlando, Danny Green made an appearance for the history books – almost! He almost got a “0” in every box score category. We look at all the players who managed to do this in at least 20 minutes of play.

We limit ourselves to players from the last 25 years, the data comes via StatMuse. Of course, one or the other (like Earl “the Twirl” Cureton, pictured here) made it before.

STEVE KERR (Chicago Bulls) – the current Warriors coach celebrated his 20-minute cardio session on March 17, 1998 with the Indiana Pacers.

GREG FOSTER (Seattle SuperSonics) – had an uneventful 23 minutes on December 11, 1999 against the Miami Heat. A year later, he became an NBA champ as a backup to Shaquille O’Neal’s backup.

GLEN RICE (Houston Rockets) – Rice was a triple All-Star in his prime, but that was over in Houston. Never was that more evident than in the 24-minute zero on November 23, 2001 at the Seattle SuperSonics.

WALTER McCARTY (Boston Celtics) – the future assistant coach was ineffective in 20 minutes on October 31, 2002 with the Washington Wizards.

CARLOS ARROYO (Utah Jazz) – actually, the Puerto Rican averaged a career-high 12.6 points this season, but none of those came on December 17, 2003 in 20 minutes with the New Jersey Nets.

BRUCE BOWEN (San Antonio Spurs) – good thing the man got paid for his defense (and dirty tricks?). There was nothing else in 25 minutes on November 5, 2005 at the Dallas Mavericks.

MATT FREIJE (Atlanta Hawks) – the forward (left) only made 19 games for the Hawks. Maybe because of that 22 minutes on December 1, 2006 against the Cleveland Cavaliers…

JASON COLLINS (New Jersey Nets) – had his clean number in 23 minutes on April 15, 2007 with the Indiana Pacers. Nevertheless, he was respected and later became the first openly gay NBA player.

JOHN SALMONS (Sacramento Kings) – was a quite capable scorer on good days (a year later 18.3 PPG!). February 13, 2008 at the Houston Rockets was not a good day (21 min.).

RYAN GOMES (Minnesota Timberwolves) – went little in 20 minutes on January 22, 2010 against the New Orleans Hornets. On the other hand, Gomes met the King of Queens, so it wasn’t all bad.

JOEL ANTHONY (Miami Heat) – Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Anthony only appears here once. However, nobody was on the court longer with his zero number than his 29 minutes on January 9, 2011 with the Portland Trail Blazers.

HOLLIS THOMPSON (Philadelphia 76ers) – one of the faces of the Hinkie years in Philly. Nothing worked in 25 minutes on March 2, 2014 at the Orlando Magic, when Thompson was still a rookie.

ANDRE ROBERSON (Oklahoma City Thunder) – 22 uneventful minutes on February 25, 2016 with the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the noble defender was never known for his stats anyway.

TONY SNELL (Milwaukee Bucks) – the swingman has been something of a namesake to these games since February 24, 2017 against the Utah Jazz (28 mins). Rob Perez made him a cult figure on Twitter…

BRYN FORBES (San Antonio Spurs) – No action in 20 minutes on February 10, 2018 with the Golden State Warriors. But he was able to watch Kevin Durant dunk up close.
© getty
PAT CONNAUGHTON (Milwaukee Bucks) – in the 2021 Finals, the swingman was a performer for the Bucks against the Phoenix Suns – not so on March 4, 2019 in Arizona (21 mins).
© getty
AVERY BRADLEY (Los Angeles Lakers) – 21 minute easy run out on October 22, 2021 against the Phoenix Suns. Well, at least he had 2 fouls.
© getty
DANNY GREEN (Philadelphia 76ers) – could have been the newest member. But against the Orlando Magic he was subsequently credited with 1 steal – so bitter! Already at the beginning of the season he failed by a hair’s breadth, back then because of the number of minutes (19)!
