What was dubbed an internal matter by the Golden State Warriors on Thursday became fodder for public debate Friday when TMZ released video of an on\u002Dcourt…
On Thursday, Warriors General Manager Bob Myers told reporters that Green had apologized to the team for the altercation, left the training facility and was not expected back until Saturday. Myers said the team would decide on a punishment internally, although he did not expect Green to miss any games as a result. Poole returned to practice Thursday.
It is now impossible for the defending NBA champions to keep the matter in-house. Also troubling for the organization is that the video appears to have been taken from inside Golden State’s practice facility, suggesting a significant breach of trust. While it is typical for people who aren’t coaches, players or team staff to attend an NBA practice, those inside the building are usually there at the team’s invitation. Team broadcasters, player alumni, college coaches and anyone else observing attend with the implicit understanding that what they see is not for public consumption.
The video’s release led to a firestorm on NBA Twitter on Friday morning, with players, fans and basketball media weighing in on everything from Green’s possible motives to the source of the presumably leaked footage. The Warriors will now be under a microscope as they dole out Green’s punishment in the final weeks before the regular season begins Oct. 18. Golden State hosts the Los Angeles Lakers in its next preseason game Sunday.
