WATCH: Draymond Green DECKS Fellow Warriors Player Jordan Poole On Video, Green’s Reps Offer Explanation For NBA Practice Scuffle

Draymond Green was caught on video viciously attacking Jordan Poole during NBA practice earlier this week, and now Green’s representatives are saying it’s because Poole has been acting differently ever since winning an NBA title.

The video, obtained by TMZ, shows Green as he violently punches Poole in the face, reportedly after some trash talk in practice. Poole was uninjured after the scrap, however Green is now facing a suspension for the attack.

Video Of Draymond Green’s Wild Haymaker Punch To Teammate Jordan Poole’s Face During Practice Goes Viral

The two can be seen stepping up to each other before Green chest bumps Poole, prompting the younger player to push him. That’s when Green unleashes a haymaker of a punch right to Poole’s face.

Other Warriors players could be seen immediately rushing in to stop the squabble as Green stands above Poole, before the short video clip cuts out.

The video reveals how intense NBA practices can be, with Green being a well-known aggressive player on the court.

Green, who is 6’6 and 230 lbs, is a formidable physical force, so that punch had to have hurt.

Warriors GM Bob Myers tried to downplay the incident later, saying:

“These things happen. Nobody likes it. We don’t condone it, but it happens.” He goes on to say, “Draymond apologized to the team. Jordan was there in the room … as far as any suspension, punishment, fine, we will handle that internally.”
