Starting Face War, Commercemond Green And Jordan Poole Adu Jotos In Warriors Training Session

JAKARTA - Senior basketball player Golden State Warriors Draymond Green was reportedly involved in a fist fight with Jordan Poole at the NBA team's training session on Wednesday local time.

ESPN reported, quoted by Antara, that the two were involved in a verbal war before pushing each other and the situation heated up when Green threw a punch that hit Poole.

Meanwhile Yahoo Sports added reports that Green seemed to regret his actions after the incident occurred.

It was also reported that the dispute between Green and Poole had been ongoing since the Warriors training camp began, with issues relating to contract extensions believed to be the origin of the debate between the two.

The Athletics reports that the Warriors are investigating the incident and are suspected of considering disciplinary penalties for Green.

Both Green and Poole played an important role in helping Warriors reap the NBA title last season, their third title in six seasons.

Green posted an average of 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists in 46 NBA 2021-22 regular games and an average contribution of 8.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists throughout the playoffs phase to the final.

Meanwhile, last season's Poole was the best season in the NBA with an average of 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds in the regular season and 17.0 points and 3.8 assists in the playoffs phase until the final.

Warriors have so far played two games against the Washington Wizards in the 2022-23 NBA pre-season phase and have always recorded wins of 96-87 and 104-95.

The reigning champions still have a pre-season schedule of three games against Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday (9/10), Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday (11/10), and Denver Nuggets on Friday (14/10) next week.

Warriors will start the NBA 2022-23 regular season by hosting the Lakers at the Chase Center, California, on 18 October.
