There was a physical altercation at the Warriors’ practice Wednesday morning that has the team seriously considering disciplinary action toward Draymond Green, sources with knowledge of the incident told The Athletic. When a heated interaction with guard Jordan Poole escalated, Green forcefully struck Poole and needed to be separated swiftly, sources said. Green and Poole came chest-to-chest, with both players pushing and shoving each other prior to Green’s escalation of the physical altercation, those sources said.
Besides being the heart and soul of the franchise, Green has been a fiery and vocal one – not escaping any conflicts with several of his teammates.
Notably in the 2018-19 season, he had an embattled issue and bench altercation with former teammate Kevin Durant. Durant later revealed that the event with Green played a factor in his departure back in the 2019 offseason.
Both Green and Poole are eligible for an extension with the Warriors before the Oct. 17 deadline.
