During an interview with Patrick Beverley on the Pat Bev Podcast with Barstool Sports, Green spoke on the incident with his former teammate from last season. Green spoke about the lead-up to the punch and revealed that the incident wasn’t just an instant reaction.

Via The Pat Bev Pod:

I don’t just hit people. Dialogue of course happens over time and you usually ain’t just triggered by something, like that fast, to that degree. You know what I’m saying, like this is a team. Ain’t nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. You know, we know stuff that you don’t say amongst men. We know things that you have to stand on.

Although an entire season has passed an the pair of former teammates have gone their separate ways, chatter from the preseason punch has continued to rumble throughout the 2023 offseason.

When the schedule releases for the upcoming season, Poole and the Wizards’ first matchup against Green and the Warriors will be something to circle on your calendar.
