According to Charania, Slater and Thompson II, Following a “heated interaction” where the players came chest-to-chest, Green “forcefully struck” Poole and the two had to be separated. Golden State’s practice was stopped after the altercation, per The Athletic.
The altercation between Green and Poole reportedly built up due to teammates noticing a change in Poole’s behavior with a potential contract extension looming according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports. Green was “apologetic” after the altercation with Poole, per Haynes.
