Hooker sustained a broken arm in training and will be unable to compete on the December 2 card in Las Vegas.
It is the second time this year that Hooker has broken the arm with the last time occurring in a fight with Turner from this past July at UFC 290.
Turner (13-7) lost the UFC 290 fight to Hooker by split decision and will attempt to end a two-fight losing streak against Green.
Green (31-14-1, 1 NC) has won his last two fights against Tony Ferguson and Grant Dawson.
The two will fight in a three-round lightweight contest at the UFC Apex next Saturday night.
