Video shows Draymond Green’s savagely punch Jordan Poole during Golden State Warriors practice
TMZ has obtained video that shows Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green attacking Jordan Poole during a practice earlier this week.
The video shows words being exchanged before it turns physical. Green walks toward Poole, who then shoves Green. Green responds with punch that knocked Poole to the ground.
Green apologized to the team a day after the fight, Golden State general manager Bob Myers said.
Poole practiced Thursday while Green didn’t, and Myers said any potential discipline would be handled internally. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Green will be away from the team again Friday and expects him to return Saturday.
NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry said he didn’t know what triggered the issue between Green and Poole and noted “it is possible to get through things like this,” and called it his job not to let it break the team.
Myers said he doesn’t anticipate Green missing any games for Wednesday’s altercation.
“Everybody’s fine,” Myers said, saying the team is lucky nobody got hurt. “Look, it’s the NBA, professional sports, these things happen. Nobody likes it. We don’t condone it, but it happened.
“Draymond apologized to the team this morning, Jordan was there in the room, I was there in the room with the team, the coaches, the players and we heard that.”
The Athletic first reported the fight, saying Green struck Poole.
