Angry Golden State star Draymond Green hits out on social media after criticism…
Back in 2022, the world was shook when Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole after the two bickered during a practice session. Now, the controversial star opens up on what happened after that fight went down.
During the Warriors’ training camp back in 2022, a video leaked to TMZ revealed an altercation between Green and Poole. The footage showed the veteran approaching the young guard during practice, positioning his body in front of him. In response, Poole pushed Green away, prompting the All-Star forward to lunge and throw a punch, forcefully pinning him against a wall. The incident was swiftly halted by members of the Warriors staff.
Following the incident, Green took a week away from the team, a decision reportedly made mutually with the organization. He later returned for Golden State’s season opener during that season.
During the 2023 Playoffs, the Warriors were eliminated early. This led Green to openly acknowledge that the altercation had a detrimental impact on his leadership role within the team’s locker room. He expressed his belief that the incident hindered his ability to provide guidance and support to Jordan Poole, as their relationship naturally suffered.
