The Golden State Warriors were left embarrassed recently when Draymond Green was caught on video punching his teammate Jordan Poole in a practice session. This was no friendly or playful punch as Green resorted to physical violence against the 23 year old point guard.
Warriors Fines But Does Not Suspend Green
Draymond Green has spent his entire professional career with the Warriors and helped them to win four NBA championships. He is expected to play a key role yet again for the Warriors as they look to defend their NBA Championship but it looks like all is not well with Green.
The 32 year old Green released a statement and apologized to Poole and NBA fans for his behaviour. There was no explanation given as to why Green punched Poole but an apologetic Green said his behaviour was unacceptable. Green has decided to take some time away from the team and figure out a better way to deal with his emotions.
The Warriors have announced that they will take action against Green in the form of a financial penalty which remains undisclosed. The Warriors have decided not to suspend Green from any games which upset many fans as they feel the Warriors are being soft on Green!
