Shocking video of the practice altercation between Warriors forward Draymond Green and guard Jordan Poole was leaked by TMZ Sports on Friday morning, causing a wave of reactions from around the NBA.
The clip appears to show the two teammates exchanging words before Green slowly begins walking towards Poole. Though it’s unclear exactly what was said, Poole pushes Green after the two come face-to-face, prompting the veteran forward to respond by punching Poole in the head and attempting to take him to the ground. Members of the team and the training staff eventually came in to separate the two players.
Golden State was already considering a punishment for Green prior to the leaked video. However, the discipline was unlikely to lead to the four-time All-Star missing games as the forward was expected to return to the team this weekend.
