The Golden State Warriors made the rounds for the wrong reasons. Apparently, Draymond Green and Jordan Poole got into a physical altercation in practice, something thatās not unusual in sports, but that shouldnāt happen anyway.
Green is known for his hard temper and tough love, while Poole has already proven that he wonāt back down from anybody. However, reports stated that there was a buildup before that altercation, as Poole had an attitude change as heās on the verge of signing an extension.
Thatās why Warriors star Stephen Curry wanted to make it clear that those reports couldnāt be further from the truth. If anything, Poole is the same guy heās been since entering the league and nothing else.
NBA News: Steph Curry Denies Reports Of Jordan Pooleās New Attitude
āIt was a specific Tweet about ā insinuating that JPās attitude or something has changed since heās been in this training camp⦠Itās absolute BS,ā Curry said.āAndre addressed it yesterday with his Tweet, you can kinda leave it at that. JPās been great. Thereās nothing that warranted the situation yesterday.ā
āI want to make that clear,ā Steph added. āItās also something we feel like wonāt derail our season, and thatās with Draymond a part of that. And the rest of it hard when speculation becomes opinion turns into borderline fact of what actually happened. I hate that it kind of became part of the narrative, itās not fair to JP.ā
Itās All Good In The Locker Room, Claims Bob Myers
Warriors GM Bob Myers is also looking forward to putting that incident in the rearview mirror. He claimed that Green had already apologized to Poole and the team, and theyāre all ready to focus on the season:
āItās the NBA. Itās a professional sport. These things happen. Nobody likes it. We donāt condone it, but it happened,ā Myers said. āDraymond apologized to the team this morning. Jordan was there in the room. I was there in the room. The team, the coaches, the players, and we heard that.As far as any suspension, punishment, fine, weāre going to handle that internally. Thatās going to be an internal process.ā
The Dubs will have a tough time defending their crown, so this is the last thing they want to think about with the season just around the corner. Hopefully, itās all water under the bridge, and it wonāt affect their chemistry this season.
