According to reports, the Golden State Warriors are set to take disciplinary action against Draymond Green after a physical altercation occurred between himself and Jordan Poole during practice.
Sources close to the situation say Green and Poole were chest-to-chest after a verbal back-and-forth turned physical with the two shoving one another in the process. Green then "forcefully struck" Poole after which the two needed to be separated.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski noted that Green swung at Poole and connected. He added that the two are "regularly" involved in verbal spats but this incident "went too far." Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports tweeted, "Draymond Green was apologetic in aftermath of the altercation with Jordan Poole, but there was a buildup stemming from teammates noticing a change in Poole’s behavior throughout camp with the guard on the verge of securing a lucrative extension."
