The Warriors stopped practice and tried to settle nerves in the team’s locker room area, but it appears that internal discipline is imminent.
Poole and Green are known to regularly get into verbal arguments, but the team’s management and leadership believes a line was crossed.
Green, who plays primarily at the power forward position, is a four-time NBA champion, a four-time NBA All-Star, a two-time member of the All-NBA Team, a seven-time member of the All-Defensive Team and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. In 2017, he won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award and led the league in steals.
Nicknamed “Poole Party”, Poole spent two seasons as a two-way player of the Warriors organization before becoming an integral part of the NBA team’s rotation starting in 2021. He led the NBA in free throw percentage for the 2021–22 NBA season and went on to win an NBA championship with the Warriors the same season.
