Despite Draymond Green inking a new contract with the Golden State Warriors and Jordan Poole being traded to the Washington Wizards, questions are still being asked about their incident from last year’s preseason punch.
During an interview with Patrick Beverley on the Pat Bev Podcast with Barstool Sports, Green spoke on the incident with his former teammate from last season. Green spoke about the lead-up to the punch and revealed that the incident wasn’t just an instant reaction.
Via The Pat Bev Pod:
I don’t just hit people. Dialogue of course happens over time and you usually ain’t just triggered by something, like that fast, to that degree. You know what I’m saying, like this is a team. Ain’t nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. You know, we know stuff that you don’t say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on.
