One day after punching teammate Jordan Poole, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green apologized to the team on Thursday, October 6, for his actions.
“Everybody’s fine. Jordan practiced today. Draymond didn’t,” Golden State general manager Bob Myers told reporters. “Look, it’s the NBA. Professional sports. These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happened. Still to be determined is how Green will be disciplined for the incident. Myers said he didn’t think the punishment would include missing any games.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he expects Green to return to the team Saturday. The club has Friday off.“There’s been a great vibe,” Kerr said. “We’ve had a hell of a camp. You have bumps in the road and you deal with it.”According to reports, Green forcefully struck Poole after they came chest-to-chest during a heated exchange. The two were then separated quickly and the Warriors halted practice after the skirmish.
