Interestingly enough, it seems Poole’s attitude following up to the day of the altercation was not well. According to reports, “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.“
Although Green and Poole have a history, the Golden State Warriors team felt the altercation was unwarranted. Poole burst into the scene last season and he was key in the Warriors’ playoff run to the finals.
