Devonte Green, a former guard for Indiana basketball, has joined Troy Williams, Juwan Morgan, and Miller Kopp on IU’s team for The Basketball Tournament, a $1 million winner-take-all competition.
It has been announced who the fourth addition to Indiana basketball’s alumni team in The Basketball Tournament is.
Devonte Green, a former guard for Indiana, will compete for Assembly Ball in the $1 million winner-take-all competition this summer.
Green is a member of Assembly Ball’s roster alongside previously revealed former Hoosiers Juwan Morgan, Troy Williams, and Miller Kopp. In the upcoming days and weeks, the remaining members of the squad will be revealed.
The 6-foot-3 West Babylon, New York native was a team captain his senior year of 2019–20 and a four-year Indiana student.
Throughout his career, Green made 120 appearances and 31 starts for the Hoosiers. Across four seasons, he shot 38.5 percent from the field, 37.7 percent from three-point range, and 71.3 percent from the free throw line, averaging 8.0 points, 2.1 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game.
IU supporters grew to love Green for his ability to make shots and ignite offenses from outside the area. Against Florida State in his senior year, Green scored a game-high thirty points, and against Iowa, he sank seven 3-pointers.
On Friday, July 19, at 8 p.m. EDT, Assembly Ball will play its inaugural TBT game at Indianapolis’ Hinkle Fieldhouse. The first-round game tickets are currently available.
In a video shared on social media, Christian Watford, a former standout for Indiana, assisted in announcing Assembly Ball’s admission into TBT.
Watford declared, “I’ve got some big news coming for you guys.” “At last, Assembly Ball, a TBT squad, will play in Indiana. I’m excited to provide you guys some roster updates. I’m excited that you will be helping us. Get your tickets now. Now that tickets are available, let’s fill the house and show these people how it’s done in Indiana.”
There will be 64 teams competing from eight different regions in this tournament. The semifinals and finals will take place at a location to be announced, while the games in the first, second, and third rounds will take place at regional venues. In June, the entire tournament bracket will be made public.
TBT declared that it will have 27 games nationally televised this summer, with three of those games airing on FOX. FOX has the championship game scheduled to air.
Launched in 2014, TBT is an annual event which brings together former college athletes for a $1 million, winner-take-all tournament.

Indiana will play as Assembly Ball.
Ten champions have been crowned, approximately 600 games have been hosted, a new way to terminate basketball games has been established, over $13 million in prizes have been given out, and TBT has collaborated with ESPN for global dissemination.
