The footage of Draymond Green and Jordan Poole’s infamous and trending altercation during the Golden State Warriors’ practice session has finally emerged.
The Golden State Warriors will go into the upcoming season as the defending champions, looking to defend the Championship that they won earlier this year. However, instead of the focus being on how they will defend their title, all the talk surrounding the Warriors going into the new season is about the infamous altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Green and Poole got into an altercation during the Warriors’ practice session, where tempers flared and Green forcibly struck Poole before the practice session was called off. According to sources, the altercation might have stemmed from an atmosphere of tension because of the players’ respective contract situations with the Warriors.
While speculation of whether or not the rumors were true plagued the Warriors’ build-up to the new season, it turns out that the footage of the incident has finally emerged on social media. Notorious entertainment insider TMZ got hold of the leaked video from the security cameras in the Warriors’ training facility, and it was not too long before NBA Twitter saw it.
The leaked video of the altercation showed exactly how it went down between Green and Poole.
The footage showed that Poole and Green were in conversation away from the thick of the action and tempers flared enough for Green to eventually confront Poole – to which the latter pushed the former away. Green responded with a punch that took Poole off his feet, at which point the entire Warriors team and the backroom staff had to intervene in the situation.
According to sources, the Golden State Warriors are taking ‘every legal course of action’ in order to find out how the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole punch video was leaked to the public, and have already revealed that Draymond Green’s punishment will be handed out behind the scenes.
