The Golden State Warriors believe that Draymond Green and Jordan Poole can continue playing together next season, as the former approaches the final year of his contract.
The NBA franchise went into last season as the defending champions, but their preparation was disrupted after an incident involving the two aforementioned players in pre-season. The pair were engaged in a heated argument which reached boiling point when Green punched the 23-year-old in the face.
Green himself and those within the Warriors organisation have said the incident had a significantly negative impact on the team and to some degree, compromised Green’s position as a team leader. It is a scar in the locker room that may take some time to heal if it ever does, but The Athletic reports that the Warriors assume both players can play together on what they expect to be a cohesive roster next season.
